redirect errors
-
Hi, Happy New Year.
I have learned from this site that deleting pages/posts is something to be avoided so I don’t do that anymore and timethief gave me instructions on how to have those deleted via Google Webmaster – thanks :) I have cleaned those up.
What I did not know and now I do is that deleting tags or categories is also something that should be avoided. I have 14 redirect errors and they are all tags and categories that I deleted and/or made changes to. Does anyone know how I can go about cleaning those up? I’ve searched and looked on Google’s instructions but to be honest, I just can’t figure it out.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great!

It would be helpful if you could provide that information on how to delete via Google webmaster. I have also realized that deleting posts/tags/categories is not worth it.

To remove pages that generate a 404 error, this is how I removed them. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals
But that doesn’t work for redirect errors.

Very useful to know, thanks. It makes sense once you think about it, though. I make many, MANY links to category pages.
I do think you’re probably out of luck in terms of what you can do. 404s are not configurable here.

With a self-hosted WordPress blog, I would recommend a permalink redirection plugin. But that’s not relevant here.
