It appears that I may have figured out the solution. As it turns out, there was some troublesome code in the .htaccess after all, which was directing search engine traffic to “example.php”. I removed the code in question, and now it seems to be working correctly (knock on wood), both via search engines and Sucuri site check.

This was the code I removed from .htaccess:

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (bing|google|yahoo|msn|aol) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (yahoo|bing|google|msn|aol)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldtimeblues\.net
RewriteRule . example.php [L,S=10000]

To add a little more information, I checked my site with Sucuri’s site checker, and it received the same 404 error. I’ve also examined my .htaccess, index.php, header and footer.phps, and several other files, and could not find any code that looked suspicious. I’m something of a neophyte on things like this, however, so I really don’t know where to look, or what I would have to do to fix this problem.

I would be happy to provide any further details that I can, and any assistance or advice on this issue would be enormously appreciated.
