      Hello,

      At some time in the past our WP site had urls like this:

      www.oursite.com/blog/post-title-pretty-link

      The site has not used that url structure for quite some time, but Moz crawl is still hitting every post with /blog/prepended and as a result is generating thousands of 404s.  When the /blog/ is removed from the url, then the urls work fine.

      Where are those old urls being stored and how can we update them?

      How do we address this issue?

      Any assistance will be appreciated.

      Thanks!

        Hi there!

        Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

        Could you pop an email about this over to help@moz.com along with the name of the affected campaign? We'll be able to take a look at the specific site then and find out where we're locating those URLS:).

        Thank you!
