404 error from linking page that does not exist

[KrisIrr]

We migrated our site from php to wordpress about a month ago. All of the old website files have been removed.

I ran Moz analytics and get 17 critical 404 errors from linking pages that do not exist.

404 : Received 404 (Not Found) error response for page.

Hi,

You must find in your content and in your code possible links integrated in the text, you must edit to the new URL.

In MOZ you can see the page who link to the 404 page, and you can use other tools like Ahrefs or Screaming Frog to analize and determine your internal errors.

If you are doing a change or CMS remind do a 301 redirections in the htacess file, and block at robots.txt all the old URL.

Thank you for your question. The issue was triggered because Moz Analytics found the broken link while crawling your site, which means you still have that broken link in your content.

In this case, it is likely because the broken URL in question is still in your XML sitemap...
