I am starting to get an increase in soft 404 errors in webmaster tools.
I have recently upgraded and they ar eall pages I do not want indexed anyway but I need them to return a 404 instead of a 200.
I recently upgraded from v3.06 to 4.36, and I DO have Disallow: index.php in robots.txt
On a similar issue I notice the site redirects to home page sometimes for non exisitent links to, I dont remember chenging the .htaccess etc? but I have pasted in below also. not sure about the
RewriteRule ^init.php$ - [F,L,NC]
part, is that standard in 4.36
Anyone help site is hivis.co.uk
