All Tags Show Google Crawl Errors

  • Hello Masters,

    I made a blunder and hence being punished… I commit it!

    My theme went haywire due to tags widget (it displayed tags in right side bar) and thus I thought to remove all the tags. I read on Google Webmaster Tool that Tags are NOT needed for site ranking or indexing and thus I installed plugin and REMOVED ALL TAGS from all posts (more than 200).

    Just after that day Google showed 200+ CRAWL ERRORS -and believe it or not -they all are TAGS error! All the URLs have /tag as starting… it just damned my website which is now getting 5-10 visits a day instead of 50-80 before that incidence.

    One of the examples:

    https://www.moulsinc.com/tag/healthy-recipes/
    Redirects to NOTHING -even Crawl custom message (I edited in 404 file -theme settings/editor) is not coming. What comes is really terrible… it comes…

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/moulsinc/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyten/404.php on line 18

    I installed 404 to 301 redirect plugin and manually started doing it.. but it does not make any difference…. daily hundreds of new crawl errors are being reported…

    Please help me ASAP. My site was doing EXCELLENT and now seeing a downfall.

    Dr. Maulik

    You can be crafty.

    RewriteRule ^tags/(.*)?$ https://www.moulsinc.com [L,R=301]

    All tags redirect to https://www.moulsinc.com now ??

    Hey Ipstenu… I’m not a techno savvy… did not get your answer ??

    Can you clarify what did you say? Where this code is to be put?

    Thanks for the answer though…

    It would go in your .htaccess, above the lines for #wordpress

    Okay Mika,

    I downloaded the plugin and activated it. It now gets me the result of .htaccess that reads this…

    # BEGIN WordPress

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Tell me where to put? You said above #Wordpress -do you mean above #BEGIN WordPress or # END WordPress

    [No bumping, thank you.]

    It would go in your .htaccess, above the lines for #wordpress

    Esmi,

    I’m still not clear… there are two #wordpress. #BEGIN WordPress and #END WordPress

    Which one you are talking about….

    can you reply ASAP?

    hello,

    i think it’s not happening. Putting the line of code you suggested above #wordpress did not work.

    I then tried installing one plug in for Google 404 redirect and at least now I could show my website though with NOTHING FOUND.

    It’s difficult to fix this..it seems…
