      Hi,

      I have a wordpres site and have 140 4XX (Client Error) errors such as:

      http://www.campervanhire.com/advertise/http:%2F%2Fwww.campervanhire.com%2Fadvertise%2F

      http://www.campervanhire.com/australia/camper-van-hire-australia/http:%2F%2Fwww.campervanhire.com%2Faustralia%2Fcamper-van-hire-australia%2F

      The bulk are all the same problem, different urls but all duplicated with %2F at the end.

      Not sure how they were generated or how fix this?
      Any info would be great!

      Thanks in advance,

      Malcolm
