    Can you provide me with a link? That particular URL will obviously return a 404, since it’s not your actual domain; I can’t verify what’s going on with the link without it.

    It’s possible that Screaming Frog is misreporting the 404; if this is a link for a month with no events, then the return would be an empty page, which some tools will report as a soft 404, even though it’s actually an accurate return of what data should be presented for that URL.

    There are a number of reasons Screaming Frog might call that a 404; it’s a file download, rather than a page viewed in the browser, for example. I don’t know what logic they’re using for that. But what I can tell is that the link is there, correct, and behaves the way it’s supposed to. It does *not* return a 404 HTTP header. So whatever Screaming Frog is doing, it’s not a real issue as far as I can see.

    Thanks for checking in on that.

    I deleted all the test events and the 404s dissappeared. I made some new events and they’re still gone.

    Dunno?

    Either way they are nofollows so I suppose they wont get indexed anyway. Good plugin BTW. Like the ways it’s working.
