   hi all

   i get lots of 404 errors in google webmaster tools.

   the following "tag" is giving 404 error:
   http://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/tag/meal/

   if you add "blog" as follows it works:
   http://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/blog/tag/meal/

   same with "category", this gives 404 error:
   http://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/category/shop-and-save/

   if you add "blog" as follows it works:
   http://www.tandooricookingexpert.com/blog/category/shop-and-save/

   can i use a redirect to add "blog"? if so how would i do it?

   thanks in advance

   Kinda looks like you have WP installed in /blog and are doing some sort of rewrite already.

   thanks for the reply webjunk.

   my files are in public_html. there is no blog folder only:
   - cgi-bin
   - wp-admin
   - wp-content
   - wp-includes

   the .htaccess file is:
   

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   
   # uploaded files
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
   
   # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
   RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteRule . - [L]
   RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
   RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   
   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   <Files async-upload.php>
   SecFilterEngine Off
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
   </Files>
   </IfModule>

   the functions.php file is:
   

   <?php
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       register_sidebar(array(
           'before_widget' => '<li class="widget">',
           'after_widget' => '</li>',
           'before_title' => '<h2>',
           'after_title' => '</h2>',
       ));
   remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');// MY ADDED CODE
   ?>

   any ideas please?

   First try resetting Permalinks (or just swtich off) and see what happens.
   What do you have set for URL's in General Settings?

   thank you webjunk

   changing permalinks to default has solved problem. all 404 errors in google webmaster reach a page.

   MEGA KARMA TO YOU
