Hi folks,
I’ve checked the forum for similar problems and found some.
All users report, that there is an enormal inscrease of 404-errors in Google webmastertools. At my site there are over 2500 at present.You suggested to inactivate the day-view as a workaround. But at my site IT IS DISABLED but 404 still occures.
Is it possible to show this page without raising an 404? Or ist there anaother workaroud. Goggle begins to bug me, because of the increase (from about 200 at all on 13.04. to nearly 3000 today).

and my settings at http://warenthin.de/settings.jpgHowdy schulzmischke,
It takes Google a while to reindex your site. That is likely why you are still seeing errors even after disabling Day view.
The truth is that our plugin by default outputs a no index no follow header on empty day view pages. This means that by default, our plugin does not generate 404 errors for Google. However, some themes or other plugins will remove this header, causing Google to attempt to index 404 pages. You can certainly try modifying the culprit to halt this behavior, or perhaps adding the meta information back via an action instead of a filter. This is a bit technical though, unfortunately. If you are looking for an easy no knowledge required solution, you have already done it. Disable day view, and wait for Google to fully reindex the site.
Does that make sense? Please let me know if that helped clarify things. Cheers!

That is very interesting. Would you mind adding this snippet to your theme’s functions.php file, and posting back here when you have done that? Mainly this snippet just adds some diagnostic info in html comments to your site, and might help us figure out the problem.
Please paste it at the top of your theme’s functions.php file, underneath the first line “<?php”. If your theme does not have a functions.php file, go to your theme folder, create a new text document file called “functions.php”, and paste this text in the first line of the file “<?php”. On line 2 or 3, paste that snippet. Thanks!
