i have record(s) where I entered “unknown” for place, by mistake. When I display the hierarchy and click “unknown”, I get error:

The requested URL /placelist.php&ged=theroyals was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I don’t see that on your Royals site. If I go to Lists > Place Hierarchy I do see “Unknown”. But clicking on it goes to a valid page for the place “Unknown” with one coule listed as having married there: John DE LA POLE and Elisabeth PLANTAGENET.

Worth noting that the place in the Place Hierarchy list I am seeing is “Unknown” with a capital “U”.

If you have found a place called “unknown” (all lower case) this is more likely to be a completely missing place – with a structure like

2 PLAC Somewhere, , Some country

(note double commas where the missing place is.)
These are easily found and corrected using Batch update > Search & Replace, setting the search type to “regular expression” and the search field as

2 PLAC .*, , .*

But where exactly are you finding this url “/placelist.php&ged=theroyals” ? Certainly that will cause an error, because as the error says, it has no place in it.
A correctly formed URL would be “/placelist.php?parent%5B%5D=Unknown&ged=royals”

The error was from clicking the entry “unknown” in Place Hierarchy in order to find which record contained the entry.

I don’t see an entry “unknown” in your Place hierarchy, only one called “Unknown”, which is quite different. The latter produces the url

http://royalty.woodengems.com/placelist.php?parent%5B%5D=Unknown&ged=royals

OK, sorry, I’ve just found it. It’s at the top, the first item. I was looking for it alphabetically, so at the bottom 🙂 (I’s so much easier to find things in a list that wraps horizontally rather than a long vertical ribbon 🙂 🙂 🙂 )

That is, as I mentioned above, not a place called “unknown” but a completely blank / non-existant place. Hence why it is at the top of an alphabetic list.

Best way to find it is using Batch update, as described in my earlier reply.
