Hi Everyone!

I have category set for all my blog posts and all have been indexed.

I am thinking of re-categorizing them for better user experience.

Can I do it

I do not think re categorizing should cause you any trouble. It is changing the Permalinks that cause errors.

Hello Trialynn! Thanks for responding :) I thought changing the category could also cause problem as Google index category as well if I set it as such.

Does this help at all? No index the categories you remove
The next time Googlebot comes around, it'll see that it can crawl /category/. It will then note the "nonindex" and remove the /category/ pages from the index.

Once google crawls your site, it's my understanding they do it regularly from then on. I think you're in the clear.

Hi Lindsay! Thank you for sharing your views on this :)

Hello Everyone!

Need your help!

I have a warning message from Google Webmaster Tools as follows:

Hi Thomas & Peter! Thank you for offering your help. Fyi, I've got it solved today :)

Way to go Yen!

Thank you Peter for sharing the link. I will check it out.

Hi Peter,
I checked the link out but still have no idea how to solve my problem. Hopefully someone can advise on the exact steps...

Thanks, Yen

Are you using a plugin to generate that sitemap? If so go into the plugin and see if there is a setting for you to exclude an URL from being included in your sitemap. If there is add that URL.

Hi ThomasPaul! Thank you for helping out. I am using Wordpress SEO. May I know how to detect the URL that is causing this problem? Thanks, Yen

If you are a Premium Member, their is much you can do. Not sure if Hostgator will cause problems, but if you own your Domain, you can start a website here on WA with that Domain. Even if you have to copy and paste every in Hostgator to the WordPress here on WA. Hope this helps answer your question. Otherwise I would contact WordPress support and tel them what you want to do. Good Luck!

If you are using Webstart, Not sure about transferring to WA who uses WordPress. I would contact WordPress help and tell them your situation. I am sure they can help you have your question answered. Good Luck!

Yen,
I'm not sure if there is a cost involved in transferring your site across to WA.
Just make sure your site is backed up before you start the process of transfering your sites over.

Noted. Thanks Peter!

Is your site WordPress. Yes, you can transfer your sites to WA. I used another hosting company and transferred all my sites to WA, no problem. With Premium membership you can have as many sites as you want. It is unlimited hosting and an excellent hosting service.

Hi Jude,

Yen

WA does not charge you anything for transferring a site in. ~Jude
