if the old urls were giving 404 i would be happy, the problem is that all the previosly existed urls of the translator now redirect to the homepage and google shows errors in webmaster tools for all of them as soft 404s

Is there an easy way to make it show 404 for them as it’s supposed to?

i can redirect with the reg expression to the 404.php but i’m not sure if that’s a clean way

ah and since i have to fix it for 30 sites i really hope we can figure out easier way based on the redirects thing i found, instead of doing the procedure from above for 30 sites ??

I’m so sorry i installed this plug-in (and i did on 30 sites) i’m sure i’ve been struggling much more to rank them because of it! I’ve removed it half an year ago and still have those soft 404s and other stuff in webmaster tools.

What i found is that the pages generated by it even if deleted now, forward to the homepage instead of showing a 404 page. That’s why google shows errors for them IMHO. In webmaster tools it shows them under Soft 404s ?and “404-like content” in the Detail field.

initially i tought that’s some rewrite rule left from auto translate plug-in, and checked the .htaccess file but there is nothing about such rewrites there

but there is something making all those old urls to redirect to the homepage instead to the 404.php page

and the urls that never existed go to the 404 page as expected

but if it’s not the htaccess file what else it might be? Do you have an idea? ??

There should be huge warning somewhere that this plug-in might kill your rankings… ??

As i understand, the first 3 are considered to be “normal” and there is no fix for them? Is that right?

I use FTP just to check how it looks on the server, i uploaded them via wordpress.

And it seems that WP can handle it since it shows
File name: -1.jpg
without the part in cyrillic before the dash and also the link URL as

https://domain.com/%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%87%d0%b0%d0%bb%d0%be/attachment/%d0%b1%d0%b0%d0%bd%d1%8f-1/

Thanks but i was hoping that someone will share knowledge specific to my problem… ??

anyone?

Do you have a problem with google webmaster tools showing “flag” as your most significant word after using this plug-in?
I have this problem!

Yes, i just tried it and works just fine for me now, thank you! ??

ok i guess i cant ??

not possible? ??

Ok i just found it’s because of the featured slider that’s on the homepage
When it’s disabled it does show the ad.
But how to go around this?

ok but still, when someone just needs couple of line breaks one after another? There should be an easier way?

hm i’ve got a template without both, i guess they are using the post page template?

ok, thanks ??
