Deleted URLs are getting found by crawlers!

[Ethan]

Hi, I am using the generatepress 2.4.2 and having a weird issue. I was trying to optimise my pages and checked the current redirect and canonical issues to see if I have any. I use both ScreamingFrog and SiteBulb to crawl my site. They both found removed URLs and they say that these URLs return 200. How could this possible?

I am using SSL ccertificate and all my http urls redirecting to https versions with 307 status code. But then the https versions canonicals to http version back. I changed 1 by 1 with yoast plugin but crawlers still say http versions are canonical urls for the https urls. I really don’t’ know what to do. My site is still hidden from search engines as I am still building it.

WHat causing this issue and how can I fix this?

Hi there,

The theme itself doesn’t control this side of things.

I would recommend checking with your hosting support 🙂

Hi Leo, I solved the issue. I realized that there were many archive pages. I stopped them and that fixed the issue. But now I am having another one 🙁 all my menu toggle buttons disappeared, they were arrows but now they are small squares. I don’t know what’s causing this issue?

Any chance you can open a new topic and link us to the page in question?

Thanks!
