# Google bot getting crazy…

 * Hello,
 * This seems to be related to this plugin only but not sure it’s a bug here or 
   the google bot itself. So when looking at the logs, everyday there are hundreds
   of 404 Not found errors – google crawler tries to download (just example) /gallery-
   picture.jpg (which is not the correct path) instead of /wp-content/uploads/photo-
   gallery/gallery-picture.jpg. The file name is correct, just the path is missing.
 * This doesn’t happen with other picture not published via the Gallery. Wondering
   if anyone also seen it and how to fix it.
 * Regards

 * The gallery doesn’t create such URLs, could you please provide us a sample of
   non-working link in its absolute url, we will see how we can help. Thanks.

 * > The gallery doesn’t create such URLs
 * Right! As I said, all the links created by the Gallery refer to mywebsite.com/
   wp-content/uploads/photo-gallery/, everything is displayed and downloads correctly.
   My only concern is how and why Google knows the wrong links trying to download
   pictures from mywebsite.com/sample-image.jpg or (recently) mywebsite.com/thumb/
   sample-image.jpg which is not a correct path. This website is still running dry,
   not many visits – mostly google bot. No direct links published.

 * Could you please maybe check with your theme, maybe that’s generating the URLs.
