Fetch as Google returns "Not Found"

[xpetru]

Hello,

My site is http://stieglarsson.com/

I have a problem which caused massive traffic drop.

All posts under this page http://stieglarsson.com/discussion-board/  are returning "Not Found" on fetch as Google.

The posts are completely accessible but as I told you, Google fetch is returning "not found".

All other pages / posts on the site are working just fine and returning "Completed" on fetch.

Please see this image.

Thanks in advance for your support!

I noticed that the discussion-board link appears to redirect to itself.   Do you have any plugins redirecting?   Have you checked your .htaccess file?

 HTH! 😉

Hi,

Thanks for taking your time to look on it.

Yes, I checked the htaccess but it does not seem to be the problem (I emptied it and fetched again with same result).

I do have a plugin for redirections - but none of them redirects the discussion-board link to itself. I also deactivated all plugins but the problem did not disappear.

Also - how did you find that the discussion-board link redirects to itself? 

Thank you!

I noticed the redirect when I went to the URL...  It is Google redirecting you -- look at the URL and message in the attached screenshot.  After that appears your page then displays.

HTH! 😉

I don't know what's happening.

Anyway - the discussion board main page looks good - it returns 200 OK.

But all pages that are linked to it return 404 Not Found

all pages like these below

http://stieglarsson.com/discussion-board/doctor/

http://stieglarsson.com/discussion-board/salanders-mistake/

http://stieglarsson.com/discussion-board/product-placement/

all of them (500+) that are under the /discussion-board/ - return 404 Not Found
