    =======================================

    Early everything was fine , but now … google gives ” Verification Error ” in its Webmaster Tools > Sitemaps options .
    Additionally it gives this message :

    We’ve detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 in the header.

    I have checked by typing something like https://weblog.featuredhost.com/abcd which is not a real page and checked from other services that page doesnt generate a 200 header but a 404 only.
    Can anyone else shed some light on this problem ?

    anyone can help ?

    i’ve the same problem and i think a lot of person have this problem…you can verify the site after you have rename/delete the htaccess, but when google retrieve the verification file you have the same problem

    You have to send a header before sending text.

    header (‘HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found’);

    You can verify your header on this page:

    https://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html

    My header return 404 for non existent pages and 200 for the existent pages….i already check this.
    The problem is another, and i don’t know how can solve it.

    GOOGLE INDEX NON-EXISTENT PAGES AND HERE NONE HAVE FIND A SOLUTION
