    Hello,

    My wordpress theme seems to be adding /feed after EVERY post I make , when Google crawls these post urls, it thinks they’re 404s when they’re not. They’re alive they just have /feed appended to them.

    Is there anyone else who has ran into this issue before and has a solution for it?

    I can’t figure it out at all.

    Thanks

    Can you share a link to your site? It could be a plugin or your permalink settings.

    Try deactivating all of your plugins, clear your browser cache and visit your site again. If that eliminates the /feed being added then re-activate one plugin, test, another, test, etc. until you find the problem plugin.

    The problem isn’t me viewing the /feed , it’s Google seeing it when it fetches as google when crawling my site.

    It thinks every post has /feed and then tries to make a link to it, can’t because it’s a 404 then records it as a soft 404 when it’s because of the appended /feed at the end of each url.

    Is there a way to turn feeds off completely?

    Thanks

    I solved it with: https://gist.github.com/chrisguitarguy/2223644

    It’s a gist of a plugin that removes comment feed link functionality. This solved it for me completely and stopped the soft 404 errors that were generating.
