 * Hi,
 * Since last October I’ve been getting 1,000’s of HTTP 404 errors relating to comments/
   feed. Viewing the source of the homepage, I can see a ref. to /feed which exists,
   but also to comments/feed which doesn’t.
 * <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Luxury Castles | Castles
   To Rent | Luxury Houses For Hire | Manor Hire | Rental Accommodation » Feed” 
   href=”[http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/feed/&#8221](http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/feed/&#8221);/
   >

   Feed” href=”[http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/comments/feed/&#8221](http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/comments/feed/&#8221);/
   >
 * The log file contains lots of these:
 * 86.156.177.152 – – [05/Jan/2012:12:26:30 -0600] “GET /comments/feed/ HTTP/1.1”
   404 1086 “-” “Apple-PubSub/65.28”
    (I think Apple-PubSub is the built in RSS-
   reader for Mac OS X?)
 * and more recently
 * 91.125.123.240 – – [26/Feb/2012:22:07:12 -0600] “GET /comments/feed HTTP/1.1”
   404 1085 “-” “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0;

   PC 6.0; InfoPath.2)”
 * I don’t require the comments/feed functionality.
 * What do I need to do to stop all these errors?
 * Many Thanks
 * Chris

 * This is night 2 and still my site is giving problems
 * This is what is happening, i type in the web address [http://www.technologytomakekidssmarter.com](http://www.technologytomakekidssmarter.com)
   and the webpage appears, however, if i click on any thing within the site i received
   this error for example i click on a post,
    Not Found The requested URL /galaxy-
   android-tablet-doctor-prescribes/ was not found on this server. Additionally,
   a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an Error Document to
   handle the request, even when i click on word press admin, it give me this error
   as well.
 * What i notice is that my site has been encountering a lot of problems such as
   lost of information or the design on hte site would just shrink and look ridiculous.
   I am assuming that it is being hack and this has happened on more that one occasion.
   Just two weeks ago i change the word press Theme and it noted that i now have
   php. What i also observed is that every time i click on a plugin in side of wp-
   admin it would give me this error too.
 * Would you say it is because the website is in php?

 * Hi,
 * I thought I’d fixed it by adding the following to functions.php
 * remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘feed_links’ );
    remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘rsd_link’);
   remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘wlwmanifest_link’); remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘index_rel_link’);
   remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘parent_post_rel_link’); remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘
   start_post_rel_link’); remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘adjacent_posts_rel_link’); 
   remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’);
 * which seemed to stop the 404’s for a while …… but they’re occurring again now!!
 * Anyone know why?
 * Thanks,
    Chris

 * Those remove_action should be fine and shouldn’t effect/cause 404 one way or 
   the other.
 * Have you tried the usual troubleshooting steps?
 * – Deactivate all of your plugins
    – Switch to the Twenty Eleven theme
 * and see if you can cause the 404 errors. Also a link to your site might help 
   identify what’s going on.

 * Hi Jan,
 * The remove_action(s) did stop the 404’s occurring for comments/feed … for a few
   weeks.
 * I had tried the usual remove plugins /2011 theme.
 * [http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/](http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/)
 * I suppose I could create a comments/feed page to stop the 404’s ? but would rather
   disable it with wordpress functionality if possible.
 * Thanks, Chris

 * Just a thought …. I don’t allow comments on my posts (under the discussion tab
   in edit posts). Could that be why [http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/comments/feed/](http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/comments/feed/)
   doesn’t exist but [http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/feed/](http://thebeautifulhousecompany.com/feed/)
   does?
