    Problems with 404/301 forwarding

    In the browser everything is OK for the website visitors.
    The test from Google (https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly) reports: Error 404 and 301.

    https://httpstatus.io shows me a 404 error.
    But I can not fix it.

    Enfold> Options I have defned the start page. WordPress> Settings> Reading I have set the same home page.
    When I then call the start page, the 404 error message appears.
    If I set up Enfold> Options 404 forwarding to the home page it works in the browser but the error message at httpstatus remains.

    I am at the end with my ideas.

    Hey Dario,

    You have set your home page as your 404 page, that is why you are getting 404 errors. Please create and set a dedicated 404 page instead. If that doesn’t help then please activate maintenance mode, then select the option which is not a page, then save and deactivate it again.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Hey Rikard

    That’s it. Thank you very much!
    Is there a specific reason that the home page cannot be defined as a 404 page?
    The function still seems to be a bit buggy. I had to reload several times.

    Hi,

    A 404 page is meant to return a 404 error, that is the reason. If you set your front page as a 404 page then it will return a 404 error. It makes sense, don’t you think?

    Best regards,
    Rikard
