Wordpress Plugin Causing Mobile Switcher 404 Errors
-
Hi All,
Has anyone seen this 404 error before? I installed a wordpress plugin that would allow users to switch between a mobile and desktop theme. This was about 6 months ago and I thought nothing of it.
Since I am new to SeoMoz, I have become aware of this lovely problem. After setting up my campaign, I now have 1600 something 404 errors due to this plugin. It looks like this plugin creates 4 to 5 links for each one of my posts and they all return up as a 404 error.
Example:
http://frogfanreport.com/football/page/36/
or
http://frogfanreport.com/football/page/36/?wpmp_switcher=desktop
I just noticed this morning in Google Webmaster tools that the errors are starting to show up there.
Has anyone seen this? Or know if this is a problem and what to do?

Works perfectly thanks. Guess we will see over time if it stops errors from occuring.

We use WPTouch, which is pretty easy to use and seems to work well. It was having issues with WP Super Cache.

I was using Wordpress Mobile Pack. It is currently deactivated but would like to find something that works. Any recommendations?
Also, the only cache that I know off the top of my head is with XML Site Map generator. I can enable that. Is that what you are talking about or should I look somewhere else?
Thanks for responding...

Not sure what plug-in you're using, but my non-profit's website had a similar issue earlier this year where some of the mobile traffic would randomly 404 or show a non-mobile person the mobile site. We found that it was a conflict between that plug-in and another we were using to cache the site. We went ahead and got rid of the cache plug-in, which had numerous issues including slowing down our site, and that seemed to solve it.

403 error for a member site
Perhaps a stupid question but SEOmoz registers 403 errors for pages behind a membersite (ie. they are restricted on purpose). Should I noindex these pages or just let SEOmoz register these "errors"?
