DING! And the winner is.Chris! It WAS the .htaccess file. I thought I had deleted it, but it was still lurking in there somewhere. I went into GoDaddy's history>restore function in the file manager (a well kept secret-they'd rather charge you $150 to do it for you), and restored my .htaccess file to the first one I had that worked before I managed to mess it up. Thank you for suggesting that! And thank you so much to everyone for all your help.

Ignore the part about 302 redirect, I think for search engines, it returns the page as "not found", so I reckon you do have the privacy option set to block search engines. Regards Chris Shiner wrote: Kim, Just had another thought.... In your Wordpress control panel under the Privacy Settings, what do you have set for Blog Visability. You might have to have it set to the 1st option (the 2nd option is default). The first option being: "I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers" WordPress will redirect all enquiries to non-accessable pages to the temp page (hence the 302 redirect). This happens when a crawler is denied access (such as Xenu) and/or the page is blocked to a members only page (in which case the user is redirected to the login page). Regards Chris KWhite wrote: Thanks, Tony. I'm not sure what the exact file name is though, because it's a WordPress site. Can tell me how to find the file name? Or maybe it's a permalink issue? I did have a bad .htaccess file that I deleted before this happened. Also, it's hosted on GoDaddy, and I built some 301 redirects in their system for a /blog page that is now /blog-make-a-slideshow. This is all the info I can think to give you, but please let me know if there is something else I can tell you that will help you help me ;) Kim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Zampini Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 12:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [xenu-usergroup] Question about my Xenu results Hi, I ran your website through Xenu and I see what you mean. Not sure exactly what's going on, but I noticed that all the failed links do not specify a target file, they only specify a directory. Perhaps Xenu doesn't recognize the extension of the default filename for each of those pages. What is the actual file name extension of one of those files. I'll try it on my website and see if Xenu has trouble with it.

My links actually work, but Xenu reports them as broken, so I am worried there is something wrong with the site structure. My site is fauxflix.com. Thanks!
