– Try re-saving your permalink structure at Admin panel>>>Settings>>>Permalinks.
– WordPress will either create/rebuild the .htaccess file. If WordPress cannot automatically edit the .htaccess file( if it is not writable), then WordPress will provide manual instructions after saving the correct block of code so that you can manually add it to your .htaccess file.

Thank you Tara.
I went to the Dashboard>>>Settings>>>Permalinks and re-saved the same Permalink “Post Name” structure. Since I did not get any further instructions, I guess there is hope. I don’t understand why WordPress would update the .htaccess file now, when it did not do so the first time I saved the Permalink change. But, there is a lot I don’t understand, even when I read about it.

Is the resolved now?

I guess I won’t know if the problem is resolved until I see that I stop getting URL search errors in my SEO plug-in. If your solution works, I greatly appreciate the help.
I guess re-saving the Permalink structure did not work to update the links as I have three new errors just this morning, Tuesday. Any other suggestions are welcome.

I have three new errors just this morning,
What are those errors? Can you quote them?
As far as I can tell, or remember, these blog entries referenced were in 2011, before I started using WordPress in October 2015, and I had built my own web site using Dreamweaver. I don’t even have access to the links myself, and that site is gone as are these links, but all had the same URL address. Here is an example:
http://www.pacificcascaderailway.com/tag/frogs/
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Baiduspider/2.0; +http://www.baidu.com/search/spider.html)
Second example:
http://www.pacificcascaderailway.com/building-the-big-one/
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Baiduspider/2.0; +http://www.baidu.com/search/spider.html)
All are always Mozilla spider URL errors. Is there a way to tell Mozilla these links no longer exist? Thanks.

these errors do not seem to have anything to do with WordPress.

This error seems to be thrown by your “simple-share-buttons-adder” plugin
For further assistance on this plugin, please contact the plugin author: http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-share-buttons-adder
http://www.pacificcascaderailway.com/wp-content/themes/piccione-theme/functions/upload-handler.php
This error seems to be thrown by your current “piccione-theme”.
Please note:
Your currently used theme is not in the wordpress.org/themes/ directory: https://wordpress.org/themes/search/piccione/
– These forums are for free themes available in the WordPress theme directory at wordpress.org/themes/. So please contact the developer/vendor directly for support with your question. You’ll be more likely to find a good answer from them, for they have the access to its code. Forum volunteers are not given access to commercial/custom products, so they would not know why your /custom/commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. The developers/vendors are responsible for supporting their custom/commercial product. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products
The second error is especially interesting since I am running the “Twenty Twelve” theme and have no idea where the Piccione-theme came from. Has my WordPress site been invaded by a virus of some sort.
Here is a new plug in error that I don’t even have as a plug in:
http://www.pacificcascaderailway.com/wp-content/plugins/fast-image-adder/readme.txt
Does the Twenty Twelve theme have some security holes that let some of these in? I have just six plug-ins: Akismet; Jetpack; SEO ultimate; simple share buttons adder; WP Super cache; WP-DBManager. I seem to gaining several things I did not add.
I will contact the simple-share-buttons-adder author.
