Site crawl warning - concatenated urls from Wordpress

[emercarr]

I could use some help on how to fix this. I asked at the walkthrough but was told it was a Wordpress issue but so far I can't find anything to point me in the right direction. There are no errors in the files on server side and I have asked my hosting company too. I am hoping someone here may be able to shed some light on it.

One of my websites it giving 404 errors on links that are formed as below and there are over 12.7K of them!

Example: <mydomainurl>/www.instagram.com/www.instagram.com/<instagram username=""></instagram></mydomainurl>

The link that relates to my website is valid and working, but I don't understand the rest. I am totally stumped on how to move forward with this.

Any advice, suggestions, tips on how to fix these errors and stop these types of links getting generated.

Thanks.

You're a star Jo! Thanks so much.

Was such a simple fix. The site has been sitting there and I need to get it going again.

Just required the https to be added on the theme. Never complained it was missing.

Recrawling now so hopefully that will sort out the issues with Site Crawler, class tool! I never would have spotted it without it.

Have a great weekend.

Hi Emercarr.

Thanks for reaching out, Jo here from the Moz help team.

I had a look at your Campaign and your site and it looks like there is a link in your social panel that is creating this issue.

If you hover over the Instagram button you'll see the url in this format show up as a preview at the bottom of your browser:

<mydomainurl>/www.instagram.com/www.instagram.com/<instagram username=""></instagram></mydomainurl>

To check if this is the cause I would recommend removing the instagram link temporarily, or checking and updating the link format, and then prompting a recrawl of your site.

Please do feel free to reach out to [email protected] if you get stuck :]

Cheers!
Jo
