Having a real issue on a dnn 7.3 site.  Google webmaster showing crawl errors for any page with and - (dash) in url.  pages work fine but show up without dash Tried chaning web config to advanced but still no luck1

 

Site is http://www.lukenewmanlaw.com

Google crawl error example

http://www.lukenewmanlaw.com/Areas-of-Practice/Theft-Crimes   can't crawl 

Works fine when you go to http://www.lukenewmanlaw.com/AreasofPractice/TheftCrimes

 

Hi,

It is a new site and to the best of my knowledge it did have dashes.  I checked on my other DNN 7+ sites and all sub pages work with and without dashes.   In this case every sub page shows crawler errors!

Hi Greg,

Thanks to the access information. I think it is all working now. I have done 2 changes:

1 - On the web.config, go to the DNNFriendlyUrl entry and change the urlFormat parameters from "HumanFriendly" to "advanced" 

2 - Set "Dash" as the character that would replace spaces within the page URL by running the following SQL statement:

UPDATE HostSettings
SET SettingValue = '-'
WHERE SettingName = 'AUM_ReplaceSpaceWith'

Seems all good now as far as I can see.

Why did it get to be set like that in the first place? That I'm not sure.

Cheers,

Aderson
