Surendra.S Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hi All, I am seeing 2700 URL errors for my website in Google Search Console. I can see most of those are related to lofiversion. (Screenshot below). Can you please advise me how to fix those ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic14 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Lofiversion? I haven't seen those since IPB 2.x / Invisionfree / Zetaboards days. Have you converted from that version recently? Are you ranking for any of those lofiversion pages on Google? If not it is probably safe to ignore and submit your updated IPS sitemap to Google Search Console. Otherwise maybe someone can write up some redirect rules.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my website (IPB forum) was there for last 10 years. So Lofiversion pages may have got ranked. Not sure. I never checked Google Search Console before. When i checked today, I found these. I never submitted Sitemap also. But I just did now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic14 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I found a really old post by @bfarber I wonder if somewhere in your .htaccess you still have redirects for lofiversion when they decided to discontinue the feature? Maybe that is triggering the 503 errors when Google is still trying to index those old URLs even after all this time? Otherwise now that you have submitted your sitemap, I think it is safe to just mark all those errors as fixed, and check Search Console again in a few days to see if those errors come back.

I never had htaccess redirects for lofiversion. But now I am thinking to redirect those lofiversion pages to regular forum pages using .htaccess. Not sure how to do it. Can someone help here ?
