# Plugin Creating 404 Errors

 * I have installed your plugin on my clients website and the goal tracking from
   the forms appear to be working well. However, in the settings under ‘customize
   tracking options’ there is an option for:
 * URL to track the page view (default: “URL of the contact form” + “/ok/”)
 * I have left this blank but now the plugin adds a URL into the javascript in the
   footer of each page with /ok/ at the end of the URL. Google Search Console is
   now flagging hundreds of 404 errors, as they are trying to crawl these non-existent
   URLs.
 * Can someone advise me on how to stop this from happening? I assume I have not
   setup the plugin correctly and should be putting something in this field, rather
   than leaving it blank, which is causing the issue.
 * Thanks
    Michael

 * Hi Michael,
 * Thanks for letting us know. We had not detected this problem. This can be related
   with the better abbility of Google to crawl JavaScript.
 * We will test the next days. The best solution for now would be to deactivate “
   Track as Google Analytics (page view)?” under “Tracking options”.
 * Best regards from Spain.

 * Hi
 * Thanks for coming back to me on this. I have now made the recommended settings
   change, so hopefully that should fix the issue for this site.
 * Thanks again.

 * Hi Michael,
 * On some of our test servers Google Search Console also shows these virtual page
   views as 404 errors but not on all.
 * For now we have added a comment in version 1.3.1 to not use the virtual pageviews
   and we will continue investigating this issue.
 * Best regards from Spain.
