So, I've been looking for a way to sort out these 404 errors on a WordPress site. This log is compiled using the Redirection plugin for WP. Anyway, how would you go about sorting out these 404 errors? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So, these mostly appear to be bots scraping the site (atleast it appears that way from the User Agent Info.) Where are they getting these URL's?
What you can do you can redirect these links to the home page best way to make it SEO friendly there are so many ways you can archive this by adding code in htaccess or this plugin can be most useful in this issue:
All 404 Redirect to Homepage
Redirect 404 Error Page to Homepage or Custom Page with Logs

My website had an image /wp-content/uploads/2020/12/abc.jpg.webp
I deleted the image now it's showing a blank page with text
"404 Not Found
openresty/1.17.8.2"
I have installed the 404 to 301 plugin, it is supposed to redirect to the homepage. all other redirects are working fine but for images and attachments, it's not working. the white page that appears is not from my theme. please check this image
Redirecting 404 pages to homepage is an SEO anti-pattern: https://yoast.com/seo-anti-patterns-301-redirect-all-your-404s-to-your-homepage/
Instead of redirecting 404s to homepage, try to create a 404 page with a better design. Since you're using WordPress, there should be a bunch of plugins and themes that let you do that.
(BTW, if you really want to do that, try looking up your plugin settings or simply switch to another "404 to 301" or redirect manager plugin that support file/image redirects)
Few weeks back I made changes to my wordpress site ctageory slug redirecting https://example.com/category/catname/ to https://example.com/catname/ to strip the 'category' base slug. Due to some restraints again I changed it back to normal as https://example.com/category/catname/
Now I am having number of 404 category archive pages crawl errors in Google Webmaster Tools, the errors like below:
1. https://example.com/catname/page/1/?
2. https://example.com/catname/page/2/?
How can I redirect these /catname/page/(.*) to /category/catname/page/$1. I have tried redirecting with htaccess and wordpress redirect plugins but nothing seemed to be working and resultedmost browsers saying "too many redirects" and the page didn't load.
I have been struggling with it. Any help shall be appreciable.
Thank you very much
I am changing permalink structure from
http://www.example.com/blog/index.php/2017/04/17/reasons-high-anxious-levels/
to
http://www.example.com/reasons-high-anxious-levels/
by going in settings>permalinks>change URL structure.
And on visiting to blog then it redirects me to 404 error page.
Please suggest how to achieve this
You can use SEO Redirection for the url's you have changed. You can use the plugin

I have a Webportal running with Drupal7, which is in multiple Languages. There's the Problem, that if I have the page "/test" and go on the browser to "/test/asdf" or /TeSt" I don't get a 404 - I get the page delivered as usual.
Does anyone know, why this happens?
for fixing this problem there is a module:
http://drupal.org/project/views404

I am not very sure if this is the right place to post the problem since it may not be programmatic thing. My site which is a blog at windowsvj.com has some weird error. When i click on any post url, it says
The requested URL /wpblog/2012/07/resolve-cisco-anyconnect-vpn-client-error-on-windows-8/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Can anyone suggest what must be wrong ?
Thanks
Seems this is SEF urls problem. In the Dashboard, under Settings, check out permalinks options.
Also, playing with .htaccess could cause the problem.
