        Hi there

        Where are you seeing this error? I did a ScreamingFrog crawl and I am not seeing that issue. I do, however, see a few 404s...

        http://www.seadwellers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/367679d2+0+277-SD.mp4 (on Key Largo Wrecks have been great lately!)
        http://www.seadwellers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/images.jpg (on Wreck of the Duane in Key Largo)
        http://www.seadwellers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wreck.tif (on The Wreck of the Duane)

        I also see quite a few 301s happening - you should check your internal links, sitemap, and canonical tags to make sure all of your URLs are correctly listed.

        Let me know where you are seeing that 404 and if the URL http://www.seadwellers.com/taking-great-photographs-underwater/#respond is being returned as the error URL, because I am not seeing it on my end.

        Hope this helps! Good luck!

          I am using "Check My Links"...an app...it shows the "No Comments Yet" tab at top of blog post as a 404 error? However, when I clck it it just takes me to comments at bottom of opage..perhaps it is just reading it as 404 and it is not?

            BTW on 301's... I let Yoast SEO generate sitemaps?   Should I still check them somehow?

            Thanks a lot for your time.

              Hi there

              Yoast is fine for sitemap generation - that's totally cool - I was just saying that usually redirect issues from crawls are because of your internal links, sitemaps, or canonical tags - just something to look into, doesn't mean it's your sitemap.

              Let me know if this makes sense!

                Hey!

                I am not familiar with that app so I can't speak to it. I am willing to bet it's an issue with their crawl, because again, I am not seeing anything on my end other than the issues I listed above in my quick scan.

                Does Check My Links have anymore documentation to how they crawl 404s? I can't imagine it's any different than other crawlers, but again, not familiar so I can't say either way.

                Hope this helps! Good luck!
