# 404 – Twitter Embed

 * For just under a week now we have been getting thousands of 404 errors in the
   Redirection plugin log that all seem to be related to twitter callbacks.
 * 404 LOG ENTRY: [http://www.mygc.com.au/nick-cummins-breaks-silence-over-shock-bachelor-finale/null?callback=__twttr.callbacks.cb0&ids=1048859491893039104&lang=en&suppress_response_codes=true&theme=light&tz=GMT+1100](http://www.mygc.com.au/nick-cummins-breaks-silence-over-shock-bachelor-finale/null?callback=__twttr.callbacks.cb0&ids=1048859491893039104&lang=en&suppress_response_codes=true&theme=light&tz=GMT+1100)

 * The common element with all these 404 errors is that we have a Twitter Embed 
   object inserted into the post (default embed code from twitter), e.g. code for
   above post:
 *     ```
       <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
       <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Lisa speaks exclusively to The Honey Badger Nick Cummins and the final four women to hear where it all went wrong. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheProjectTV?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TheProjectTV</a> <a href="https://t.co/7wLLrGaaqM">pic.twitter.com/7wLLrGaaqM</a></p>

       <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
       ```
   
 * Would anyone have any idea what might be causing this and if so a possible fix?
   Thanks.

 * I don’t know what might be causing it, but you can look at the referrer, user
   agent, and IP information to see where the requests are coming from. You may 
   have something misconfigured that is causing bad requests to be made.

 * Thanks John. Yeah I’m a bit baffled by this and not sure what else to do.
 * Here is one of the referrer details:
 * Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; CPH1701 Build/MMB29M; wv) AppleWebKit/
   537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Mobile Safari/537.36[

    Device Facebook Operating System Android 6.0.1
   Browser Facebook 192.0.0.34.85 Engine WebKit 537.36

 * So it seems like something from Facebook, or the Facebook app? The next version
   of Redirection will provide better tools for investigating 404s, so that may 
   help

 * Thanks John. Just an update on this, about a week after I posted this here, the
   404 errors that had all these twitter call backs just stopped one day. My sys
   admin is thinking it may have been something to with an updated security part
   of the twitter API. Still unsure, but at least they have stopped, I had over 
   43,000 in the logs 🙁
