Ah nuts – bin that. #PEBCAK
NeilParticipantHi Barry
Perfect – that did the trick, thanks!NeilParticipantNeilParticipantThanks Barry – good call. Will give that a shot.
NeilParticipantHi Cynthia
It’s the same experience for us and 3.0.3 doesn’t fix this particular issue. I tried it out on a different install this morning and visiting an empty date still serves a 404. Sure it’ll still be the same on yours. You can see if you take the URL of an empty date and check it here:

Cheers
NeilParticipantAs with others, all okay on restoration of old plugin files.
NeilParticipantSame problem – backing out upgrade now…
NeilParticipantThat’s fair enough Barry – I’m all for tidyness. I just wanted to make sure we were all clear on the problem I’m hoping to see resolved.
Thanks for your efforts
NeilParticipantAnd also happening on this page of your live demo.

I’d assume the Next Day / Last Day links are the route through which Google is crawling through to every eventual permutation of the URL above.
NeilParticipantOut of curiosity, I went and found the first post on here where the poster was using 3.0 and managed to replicate the problem – go to an empty date and the headers return a 404.
NeilParticipantHi Barry
No, none of the individual day listings appear in the sitemap. I should clarify that there are no erroneous URLs as far as I can tell. The problem is valid pages are resulting in a 404.NeilParticipantBarry – you asked in the other thread about our additional plugins. As this seems to be the same issue, I’ll just add to the general picture here if that’s okay.
We’re using (and have tried deactivating) the following:
All In One SEO Pack
Google XML Sitemaps
Safe Redirect ManagerNeilParticipantHi Barry – think it’s as well to carry on in Cynthia’s thread here:
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/404-not-found-in-page-title/#post-54160NeilParticipantAh sorry – I meant that we were using it and that’s maybe why we’re not seeing the actual page title display a 404 like you are.
I think the underlying issue is probably the same just that the SEO plugin is masking that one particular symptom if you see what I mean.
NeilParticipantSounds similar to our issue here: https://tri.be/support/forums/topic/webmaster-tools-flooded-with-404s/
The events calendar is, in our case returning a 404 for any situation where there is no specific event – for example, so in the day by day view, any day with nothing in scheduled will return a 404 in the header (although not in the page title but that may be to do with all in one SEO overwriting pages titles).
So far, we’ve got over a thousand 404s racked up under Google Webmaster tools and increasing as Google crawls it’s way through the empty pages.
