MyBB Community Forums

hi
google webmaster find near 1000 404 page in my forum.
I add ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
to htaccess but it is not working!
please help

Making your index.php the 404 page won't stop the 404 errors occurring in the first place.

You need to take a look at what URLs webmaster tools is saying are returning 404 and work out why they are returning 404.

What does your .htaccess file look like. There is possibly a rewrite rule that doesn't cover everything (looks like some unicode thread titles)

I just took a look at your forum and it seems like you are not using the Google SEO plugin. Did you previously use it and then uninstall it? If you did then Google still remembers the old URLs and will keep trying to load them.

thanks
I previously use it and then uninstall it
because it was so much problem
I remove this from every ver
htaccess code is:

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

Yeah, because you removed the Google SEO plugin you will see a lot of 404 errors until Google stops trying to access the old URLs.
