  • I redirected the links on my site and a few days later I received a notification in the Google Search Console that the old links were showing a 404 error.

    How can I delete these links at once from the site because there are more than 1800 links?

    Sorry I did not understand what you mean

    Hello,
    I mean is my solutions is helpful to you or not?

    Hello,

    A 404 error on a WordPress site typically means that the requested page could not be found on the server. Here are some steps you can take to fix a 404 error on your site:

    Update .htaccess File:
    Sometimes, the .htaccess file may be corrupted or not configured properly. You can try updating it. Go to “Settings” > “Permalinks” and click “Save Changes” again. This will regenerate the .htaccess file with the correct rules.

    Check File and Folder Permissions:
    Incorrect file and folder permissions can lead to 404 errors. Verify that your files and directories have the correct permissions. Typically, folders should have a permission of 755, and files should have a permission of 644.

    Recreate Missing Page/Post:
    If the 404 error is specific to a particular page or post, consider recreating it. Sometimes, the content may have been accidentally deleted or not properly published.

    Check for Plugins and Themes Conflicts:
    Deactivate all plugins and switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-One). If the 404 error goes away, reactivate your plugins and theme one by one to identify the culprit.

    Inspect Server Configuration:
    If your server is not configured correctly, it may lead to 404 errors. Ensure that your server has the necessary modules enabled and configured for handling WordPress.

    Use a Redirect Plugin:
    If you’ve changed the URL of a page, you can use a redirect plugin to create a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one.

    Check the Permalink Structure:
    Make sure your permalink structure is set up correctly. Go to “Settings” > “Permalinks” in your WordPress dashboard, and choose a common permalink structure like Post Name. Click “Save Changes” to update the permalink structure.

    Clear Browser Cache:
    Sometimes, the issue may be related to cached files in your browser. Clear your browser cache and try accessing the page again.

    Regards.
