Hi guys,
So I am being trying to detect error 404 , and I have looked everywhere since Oxwall passes this header to a 404 page can anyone tell me where is being called from?
Like to find so I can return a redirect and so pages that doesn't exit don't get 404 and stop google from complaining..

@tammy, thanks
But that's not possible, users deleted their accounts or newsfeed are broken..
Or am I missing something, best thing is do 301 and fix it.

no the best thing is for the plug to be fixed and remove the entries when a user is deleted
i seam to remember this being reported few years ago

What do you mean?
That oxwall should of not let index the user base..
Can you explain?

@Tammy,
the broken links as indexed users /user/* where * used to be a username those were indexed by google now they return 404 which is correct they don't exit.. so Oxwall is doing fine..
I just need to test if they exit and redirect if they don't but can't find the code..
I can just tell google bot not index the /user and /newsfeed URI but don't want to do that..
any suggestion.?

Let me get this right. You want to be able to test to see if any entries in Google still exist on your site, and redirect the ones that don't. If that's the case, not sure how you'd do that, as you have no way of knowing what Google has or hasn't indexed.Hi thanks,
You could just set up a custom 404 error page that redirected you to the homepage.
I think misswrote the whole question, what I want is detect the 404 in oxwall , Oxwall parses the page if found if not then send it to a oxwall 404 then there should be a check somewhere that tells Oxwall that the page doesn't exist anymore..
Can't find in the code.. where is being tested..
I try doing in Nginx but is not the server parsing it but is Oxwall at php level..
Thanks
