I’m hoping someone can help me.
Been looking at my google webmaster tool for my website and looked at internal links.
It’s reporting that I have 62k internal links across my website, almost all are 404 errors, have I set a geodirectory setting wrong or is it an error with the webmaster tools?
Almost all are location links, it’s like it has an internal link for all locations in the UK that show as 404.
All end in /feed/
Thanks.
February 2, 2018 at 11:14 pm #415692It seems as though its saving all old links and searches from somewhere, does geodirectory have a cache that its reading or does yoast not read caches.
February 3, 2018 at 2:05 am #415707Hello,
Have you set your GD Permalinks to include the full location in the URL?
If you make changes to the GD Permalinks settings, do make a visit to WP > Settings > Permalinks and resave your permalinks settings there.
Are the URLs actually 404?
February 3, 2018 at 8:28 am #415726Thanks for the reply, I have set geodirectory – permalinks include add location slug and add full location plus use category slug.
I have the WP settings – permalinks set to post name.
With the 2 being set different will it cause issues?
The yoast sitemap has a section for each category called location full site map, in that sitemap it has a list of location/category.
When I click on the link it’s almost as though it has saved searches done by us when we have been checking coverage for each category.
Google webmaster tolls says my homepage for example has 62,540 internal links to the page, when I select the links to see what its from I get a;
Not Found
This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?I’m so confused and I have no idea why these bad links are there.
Thanks
February 3, 2018 at 8:34 am #415727Listing URL prefix is also set as places, I dont use the CPT anymore though as I created my own.
February 3, 2018 at 8:52 am #415728Also just noticed that google webmaster tool is saying that Crawl errors for desktop is at 12000, they are 404 errors.
That can’t be correct?

Most of the GD Permalinks are not set, that is the issue.
I was checking through the sitemaps and couldn’t find any links that said “/feed/” per se, but I think the Google-y interface you were reading was talking in ‘code’ but if you have one of those links, you can feel free to share it, in case it is something different.
For this permalinks issue, though –
Easily fixed: You can set a page for each entry at GD > Permalinks
If the pages don’t yet exist, you can add them manually, or go to GD Tools > Page check and it will create them for you (only if they don’t yet exist).
Once you’ve done that, be sure to visit WP > Settings > Permalinks and re-save the settings there.
Let us know how it goes.
