 * Hi,
 * I have a lot of crawl errors google webmaster tools like this:
 * /tag/%tag_name%/%category_name%
 * If i put in your browser /tag/%tag_name%/, it works, but adding %category_name%
   i get 404 error. I don’t why the url is like that or what is building it like
   that.
 * Any idea?

 * Hi,
 * I never saw this kind of URL structure in WordPress…
    I know **[http://www.your-site-com/tag/tag-example](http://www.your-site-com/tag/tag-example)**
   or **[http://www.your-site-com/category/cat-example](http://www.your-site-com/category/cat-example)**
   but not **[http://www.your-site-com/tag/tag-example/cat-example](http://www.your-site-com/tag/tag-example/cat-example)**!
   It doesn’t make sense. That’s perhaps you get 404 error !
 * What’s the behavior when you go to [http://www.your-site-com/category/%category_name%](http://www.your-site-com/category/%category_name%)?

 * It is weird because the behavior of my site is right, but Google Webmasters Tools
   shows me thousands of errors with that estructure:
 * /tag/%tag_name%/%category_name%
 * I don´t know where it comes

 * In Google Webmaster Tools, go to “URL Parameters” and look for a wrong parameter.
   
   Then, you can’t remove it, but you will be able to modify it to allow the Google
   Crawlers to crawl or not the matching URL structure. There are many option for
   you.

 * Thank you riversatile, but it doesn’t help.
 * I think it’s a plugin, but to determine which is hard because it takes days to
   be indexed by google.
 * I don’t know what to do about that 🙁
