Can you pls post a link to your site… and the url where the webmaster tools try to find your comments/feed?
Hi,
Yep
horseracemeetings
webmaster tools states that it can’t find http://www.horseracemeetings/comments/feed
any help would be great….
Hmm… there are comment feed url in your <head>… guess you don’t need them, couse you dont make use of the comments at all – or?
try to add this in your functions.php
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );
this should remove the follwing from your source code
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" » Comments Feed" href="http://www.horseracemeetings.com/comments/feed/" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" » Ascot Comments Feed" href="http://www.horseracemeetings.com/ascot/feed/" />
So Google should’nt find the unexisting urls any more…
And this aktive thread might also help, seems to be very similar to your problem…

Thanks Egado,
Stupid question time now, where about in the functions.php do I add the code.
Chris
At the end of it for example, but before the ?>
if there is one…
Hi Egado,
added code but seeing no change to page source??
Still feeds visible…that normal:-)
Well, there is a change 🙂
Without the code you will find the following on that site: http://www.horseracemeetings.com/ascot/
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" » Comments Feed" href="http://www.horseracemeetings.com/comments/feed/" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" » Ascot Comments Feed" href="http://www.horseracemeetings.com/ascot/feed/" />
Now there is only on relict residual 😉
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" » Comments Feed" href="http://www.horseracemeetings.com/comments/feed/" />
Maybe this is “hardcoded” in your header.php … try to search if you find it in your header.php and delete it 😉
Thanks Egado,
I’ll leave it as it is just now and see what Google comes back with….here’s hoping
Thanks
Again
I have searched a little bit, and google seems to show an 404 if there are no comments… whats very logical if you dont make use of them…
Maybe you can disallow the comments url through your robots.txt or you ignore that error, which won’t have consequences anyway…
Wish you all the best 🙂
