    1) After running error logs and finding hundreds of 404 broken links, we've been working to get these resolved. One apparent reason for the high volume is because they are generating on every listing page (and we have hundreds of listings) and/ or are being generated from the /listcat/ pages.

    Here are the primary URLs that seem to be causing recurring broken link errors:

    references found on any /listcat/ page for these links

    >possibly at least these 2 are related to the captcha

    >not sure where these 2 are generating from

    2) Additionally, we are getting 404 errors on the site /feed/ and /comments/feed/ urls which we are not sure why, but which report this error message:

    XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
    Location: http://mywebsite.com/feed/
    Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>​


    We can send site/login details to you via email if you could check into this. Part of this may also be related to the Listing Page Lead Capture CAPTCHA issue we're having on this ticket --> http://www.inkthemes.com/community/threads/latest-captcha.9670/
    BTW the site/login info is the same as we sent you for that one on Sunday ;) )

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Yes there is so many broken links you can use xenu tool for checking internal and external broken links. We are using xenu for http://www.b2bclassifieds.in broken link checking.

    Yes, we used Xenu also -- and in doing so we were able resolve some items on our own, however, we need assistance with those listed above. Support, please advise -- I have also re-sent support email with the login info for this and my other outstanding ticket - thank you for your attention to this matter
    Cheers,
    CJ

    Hi, still have not seen any email or reply yet -- sent email with login twice, have 2 support threads awaiting response -- actually think they may be at least partly related, both are listed in the email -- please advise, thanks!

    Hi, I am still waiting for a reply here -- it seems as if the theme is calling for these files unnecessarily and seems maybe some could be removed, but I am no expert with coding themes, so I'm looking for your feedback on this. We want to update WP to 3.8x but we notice there is already an error being generated related to
    http://mywebsitename.com/wp-content/themes/myonlinebizdir/css/custom.css?ver=3.7.1
    http://mywebsitename.com/wp-content/themes/myonlinebizdir/css/custom.css?ver=3.6.1
    so a little concerned there will be an additional error being generated once we update

    Also, really don't understand this error at all with the site feed - seems like this should not error like this but don't know enough about the message to fix - again, please adivse, thanks!
