I got an email from Google Webmaster Tools saying my site has too many soft-404 errors. How can I go about fixing these issues and preventing them in the future? Thanks!

VictoriaMarch 26, 2017 at 7:05 pm #767011Thanks for your reply. All my crawl erros are searches without any search terms. See private content for an example of a soft 404 error google has flagged. All of the crawl errors are urls that work but with ‘?s=’ at the end.

AndyMarch 31, 2017 at 4:42 pm #770071Hi Andy, that sounds like the perfect solution! Thank you. Please can you just help me with the formatting of my robot.txt. I’ve added the code to my robot.txt and it now looks like this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.phpUser-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /*?s=Is this right? Thank you!
