    I do not use Woocommerce for my site.

    This is the forum for WooCommerce, where we can help you out with problems you’re having with WooCommerce. You’d likely be better off on a different forum – possibly this one:
    https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    To get started, I’d recommend on checking if those files actually exist on your site (possibly through a file browser or FTP). I’d also wonder if it’s important that they be reachable at all, given that they’re mostly images.

    Hello Hannah,

    I have just called on the WOOCOMERCE community to understand this type of URLS http://www.tapenade.pro/woocommerce–fonts/star.ttf which calls a folder WOOCOMMERCE.

    How do I check if these files exist? that’s part of my question actually.
    In your opinion, what are images? unfortunately as it refers to page 404, I think it’s more like fonts? no ?

    Surely a WOOCOMMERCE user will tell me why I have these URLs and if I can redirect them to the homepage. I do not know how to delete them.

    Moreover, as my theme editor does not understand why I have this type of URLS he advised me to address the WOOCOMMERCE community.

    Yours truly

    Thanks for explaining!

    You’re right – the ttf extension is fonts, not images. The WooCommerce plugin does call stars.tff, as well as the other resources:
    https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/search?utf8=✓&q=ttf&type=

    These resource files are stored deep in the WooCommerce plugin, in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/ – the URL http://www.tapenade.pro/woocommerce–fonts/star.ttf wouldn’t ever be a valid URL, so it makes sense that you’re seeing 404s when trying to access that URL.

    I did some checking into the Xenu’s Link checker that you mentioned:
    http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html

    The latest version is from 2010, so I’m not sure how well it still works.

    I’m not completely sure how the Xenu’s Links works, so I installed it and tested it on my sandbox site. Here are the results:

    I’m not seeing any of the same 404 errors that you are, so I’m not sure what the difference is in the setup.

    If you’re looking to improve SEO and find broken links, I can recommend the following:

    I hope that helps you in the right direction!

    Hello,
    Sorry for the late response.
    Thank you very much for your answer.
    Unfortunately I can not open your link: http://cld.wthms.co/f3FOEb
    I go through your link trying to understand what a broken link is.

    Good night.

    Hey there!

    I just tested it – the link showing the results when I ran the Xenu scan is working on my end:
    http://cld.wthms.co/f3FOEb

    Basically, something on your site is causing these strange links. They’re definitely WooCommerce resources, but I can’t replicate the problem on my own WooCommerce site. I recommend looking into other link checkers, or looking more deeply into your plugins and theme.
