      Sorry. URL is awardrealty.com

      I have a new website that we merged into a new wordpress theme. I just crawled the site with my seomoz crawl tool and it is showing a ridiculous amount of 4xx pages (200+) and we cant find the 4xx pages in the sitemap or within wordpress.  Need some help? Am i missing something easy?

          Unless there were custom post types in the old theme (something other than Pages or Posts), the 404s shouldn't be related to a change in theme. Has anyone adjusted the permalinks settings? That's the primary reason a bunch of 404s would all show at once.

          Aside from that, diagnosing would be much easier if we knew the domain. Feel free to PM it if you're not comfortable publishing it.

            I'm afraid nobody can really help without a URL.
