404s on paginated categories with rss feed in wordpress

[donsilvernail]

Moz tells me I have 16 404 errors. They are all on paginated pages and end with rss. I checked all my settings and i do not know why it is doing this. https://sharlinlaw.com/author/ben-sharlin/page/7/rss the page 7 exists but not the rss feed on page 7. it also exists https://sharlinlaw.com/author/ben-sharlin/rss

Just on pagination it is throwing 404ss. It is my understanding that this is a custom rss structure. I built this site and i did not set it up this way but moz crawler is flagging these, what should i do.

I do not need rss to exist on pagination.

Thanks for any responses to this issue,

Why don't you try making a redirect to the homepage? or you can block those URLs with the Robot.txt so the crawler will not enter to that page. I had the same problem in the past and worked for me.

Hi Roman,

I get that, I am just not seeing why moz crawler even found links such as these to throw a 404. I donot think these rss feeds existed on my site at any point. So i would like to find why they are coming up as 404 and fix it properly without redirects.

Thanks,
