In G webmaster tools I'm showing a bunch of 404 errors for a particular site. Strange thing is I've never seen the url format before and I don't know what's causing it or where to look to fix it. This is what the url structure looks like.

http://www.mykickasssite .com/about/created 2/23/11 */
http://www.mykickasssite .com/2011/02/created 2/23/11 */

There's a bout 40 of them, just like that. I've never seen that /created shit before. I've checked in myphpadmin and I can't find any thing resembling that url structure. Anyone know a fix for this?
 


Looks like your permalinks got fucked up somewhere along the way. Check that first, and if it's not in there, have a look at your sitemap.xml to see if it contains the bogus URLs.
 
They don't show in my sitemap and my permalinks are just set to /%postname%/ as usual.
 
You seeing this under Crawl Errors? If so, check the "linked from" column... could be someone linking to your domain with bogus path.
 
Look for the created 2/23/11 */ string in the wordpress configuration PHP file, and also look for a file called .htaccess in the top WP directory and see if you can find this kind of text in it. */ is something that you might see in relation to a PHP comment, maybe a plugin or something has an error in it which causes some extra comment text to interfere with the URL.
