   These pages no longer exist

   For some reason if you type them in, instead of going to a 404 Not Found page, both redirect to this page
   http://www.4wehelp.com/about-us/questions/contact-info/

   Any idea why? Google is saying all 3 are duplicate content and penalizing me for it.

   Have you checked your .htaccess file for any redirects? You could try submitting the 2 out-dated urls to Google for removal from it's index. Or you could look at installing a Google Sitemap Generator plugin.

   In our .htaccess this is what it says

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

   # END WordPress

   I tried submitting them to Google URL removal and it says they are still live so they can't be removed. I have a sitemap and the links are not anywhere in it.

   I deleted the .htaccess file and uploaded a blank one. Still have the redirect problem. Any other ideas?
