URL Errors Showing Up In Search Console

[finnegan]

For some unknown reason, SC is showing URL crawl errors of pages on my Wordpress site that I don't recognize. They are made up of like 3 subfolders that are related to the content I posted, but are not directories I created.

What the hell?

When you click the links in Search Console is there a tab in the pop-up window for "linked from"?
Could just be coming from external links, spam etc.

Could be old tag pages you deleted. Check your sitemap, those can linger in there.

Google's index and attempts to recrawl URLs, at times, can be rather persistent. On some sites, I see errors or 404's showing up, which they even list were originally detected 2 or 3 YEARS prior. Even in the case of 404's that have since been 301'd, they sometimes just persist in crawling those old, damn pages. Much of the time, I just ignore it.

Yeah, I just realized that all of them are coming from a blog directory I submitted the site to and each link ends in an RSS folder.

What does that mean?
