    I’ve got two questions related to Redirection to pages within WP categories. The two questions may be related. I’m not sure.

    First, Redirect plugin is showing me lots of 404 errors that look like this:
    /credente/evan/condividere-la-tua
    Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm)

    That page doesn’t exist. “credente” and “evan” are both categories associated with the “condividere-la-tua” blog post, but I’m not seeing any redirect that is pushing toward this false URL and my sitemap is up to date so bingbot and others shouldn’t be looking at this false URL either.

    Second, most of my redirects look like this:
    /leadership/passi/4mis.htm (Ignore Case / Ignore Slash / Exact Match)
    /passi/la-vostra-strategia

    The Source URL is probably ok as that is where the pages were before switching to WP. I don’t remember why I have /passi added here in the Target URL. It isn’t needed. For some reason it still seems to arrive at the real URL of /la-vostra-strategia. I’ve got this for maybe 200 redirects so I’d rather not manually have to fix them all if not needed.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you very much for any suggestions!

    I’ll pass you on to the FAQ for 404 entries:

    https://redirection.me/support/faq/#weird

    Basically you need to look at the information and decide if it’s a real problem, or a bot.

    Thanks, John. Yes, they basically all look like bots, so I’ll not worry about it I guess.
    The second part of my question was about how I set up the plugin 2 years ago when I first used it. I’d asked:

    /passi/la-vostra-strategia

    Any idea why the redirects are working anyhow and if I should change them all?

    Thanks again!

    You may have additional redirects somewhere else that are handling the change with passi.
