comments/feed problem

  • Hi,

    I have a wordpress site with a static front page with no comment facility (removed this) I have just added a blog/post page to the site but I am now receiving errors through google webmaster tools stating that it can’t find the comments/feed url. It only happened after adding the post/blog page. any ideas how I can fix this fault.

    Cheers
    Chris

    Hi,

    Yep

    horseracemeetings

    webmaster tools states that it can’t find https://www.horseracemeetings/comments/feed
    any help would be great….

    Hmm… there are comment feed url in your <head>… guess you don’t need them, couse you dont make use of the comments at all – or?

    try to add this in your functions.php
    remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );

    this should remove the follwing from your source code

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" &raquo; Comments Feed" href="https://www.horseracemeetings.com/comments/feed/" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" &raquo; Ascot Comments Feed" href="https://www.horseracemeetings.com/ascot/feed/" />

    So Google should’nt find the unexisting urls any more…

    And this aktive thread might also help, seems to be very similar to your problem…

    Thanks Egado,

    Stupid question time now, where about in the functions.php do I add the code.

    Chris

    At the end of it for example, but before the ?> if there is one…

    Hi Egado,

    added code but seeing no change to page source??

    Still feeds visible…that normal:-)

    Well, there is a change ??

    Without the code you will find the following on that site: https://www.horseracemeetings.com/ascot/

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" ? Comments Feed" href="https://www.horseracemeetings.com/comments/feed/" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" ? Ascot Comments Feed" href="https://www.horseracemeetings.com/ascot/feed/" />

    Now there is only on relict residual ??

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" ? Comments Feed" href="https://www.horseracemeetings.com/comments/feed/" />

    Maybe this is “hardcoded” in your header.php … try to search if you find it in your header.php and delete it ??

    Thanks Egado,
    I’ll leave it as it is just now and see what Google comes back with….here’s hoping

    Thanks

    Again

    I have searched a little bit, and google seems to show an 404 if there are no comments… whats very logical if you dont make use of them…

    Maybe you can disallow the comments url through your robots.txt or you ignore that error, which won’t have consequences anyway…

    Wish you all the best ??
