    Google Webmaster Tools reporting that 404 is a 200

    Hello,

    I was trying to optimize my board with Google Webmaster Tool but this error appears to me when I try to verify the site:

    We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.
    This way Google Webmaster Tool don't let me enable the options to work on this site.

    What should I do?

    You should set ""File Not Found" requests handling" setting in vBSEO CP to "Send 404 HTTP code".
