    Error Submitting Site for Verification - McAfee

    It appears that the Web site sounddistrict.com is returning an HTTP 200 status response code in the header of 404 pages.
    We cannot verify a Web site that is configured this way because it allows anyone to verify themselves as the owner of your site. Please update your Web site server configuration to return 404 status codes in the headers for pages that do not exist. Once your site is configured this way then you can return and request a file name verification.

    Hello,

    I see that you have member profile URL format set as "domain.com/username_here", so any non-existing URL request is treated as user profile page.

    So I have to change all the member profile URL's to be written as /members/ to fix the issue?

    You can try to temporarily disable member profile rewrites, submit verification and then re-enable profile rewrites.
