      I have looked everywhere.

      I thought it might have just showed up while making some changes, so while in webmaster tools i said it was fixed.....It's still there. Even moz pro found it.

      error is http://mydomain.com/mydomain.com

      No idea how it even happened. thought it might be a plugin problem.

      Any ideas how to fix this?

        Hi Nathan,

        Search on Open Site explorer the page and see if you can find where it is being linked from. Then you can go and update it and also 301 redirect the page to your homepage as an additional safety net for any links missed.

        Hope this helps!

              couldnt find it with open site but i did find it with screaming frog.

              but i already knew what it was.

              I have a button on my home page that currently didnt have anywhere to go so i linked it back to my homepage. not sure if that was the problem but i have change it to link to an existing page and will see what happens.

              thank you for the help

              if that fixes it i will let you know.

                Perhaps you set the link to mydomain.com rather than http:mydomain.com and your setup has prefixed with the domain.

                ScreamingFrog is good.

                  Well i am testing a couple things.

                  1. i change a link on my site to an existing page.

                  2. i deleted a "coming soon plugin that in not using.

                  3. i deleted an older sitemap i found in my ftp file manager.

                  If none of this works then i have no idea what the problem is and will have to start eliminating plugins i guess.

                  thank you all for the help,
