Yeah, definitely going to avoid them from now on. I use buddypress so I don’t think that sitemap generator works with buddypress and I can’t seem to find a good buddypress sitemap generator. Do you happen to know of any? Would just using the google sitemap generator be better than nothing? I don’t think it would link to any of my buddypress pages though.
Perfect, so I figured out how to set up the redirects. Many of the pages that google couldn’t find though and gave a 404 error for were pages that I deleted. What do I do with those pages? Do I just redirect them to my home page since the post itself simply doesn’t exist anymore or do I just leave them at 404’s? Or does it even matter.
Thanks for the reply aces! Does it matter where I put the code? Just at the very end? And what should I do about the pages that I’ve deleted but google still has them indexed, how do I get google to know those pages are deleted now?
