My b2evolution Version: 3.3.3

I had my blog setup for a long time with the generic naming structure and then changed it to something more appropriate. Now it appears the old topics are still being shown to google with the old structure as I have multiple 404 not found errors showing in Google Webmaster tools eventhough it's showing as detecting them even as recently as the 10th of this month.

What would be causing this and how can I fix it?

instead of removing them try using canonical url's so that former posts redirect to new urls

I have all the canonical settings checked in the Blog Settings >> SEO but that doesn't seem to have fixed anything.

Nope, just did that now though....thanks for pointing it out. Would this cause my issue?

it should..now that you say u ve canonical urls enabled already.. wait for a few days for google bot to reindex your urls and check later

Waiting is so hard, I keep checking every hour for changes as i've just updated my webstore aswell.

i ve suffered from the same issue, i hear you.recently i ve changed my /index.php to /alinti.php and all my urls were 404s.

you might want to go to google webmaster central and increase the crawl rate a little bit.
