        It's not possible to give you specific instructions here with so little information but if you click on the errors, you will see some more information in there that will point you in the right direction.

        As you can see in the screenshot attached, there's a "Linked From" tab. If you click that tab, you'll see a list of URLs you can find the broken link on, then it's just a case of looking at each of those pages and either fixing or removing the link(s).

        Hope that helps!

            Due to a (now fixed) bug in Q&A, this thread is a duplicate of this thread. Though I ask that future discussion be kept here, there are two responses from Peter Nikolow and Martijn Scheijbeler there that are worth your time. 🙂

                Hi Steve, Wix is one platform I'm really not too familiar with unfortunately. I've probably spent 20 minutes with it in total!

                If you don't want these pages on your site, the best thing to do is 301 it to the most relevant page, provided that redirect makes sense to the user. For example, if it's a page about office chairs, you don't want to be redirecting the user to a page about televisions!

                  These links i don't want they were installed in the Wix blog like the yoga one and meditation etc nothing to do with the niche i am in.

                  so can i delete them in WMT? or still need to redirect them

                    Oh, if they're just pages that are part of a template you're using then you can safely get rid of them without having to redirect.

                    Just make sure you remove all internal links to those deleted pages so you don't end up with 404s.
