Major increase in google search console 404 errors the day I installed the theme

I installed the Newspaper theme Nov. 1. On that day (and every day since then), my google search crawl errors went from 0 to 1000. at the end of every link, something is attaching the name of the website. So for a link that is http://hedgehogaspets.com/start-here/, there’s a 404 error for http://hedgehogaspets.com/start-here/HedgehogasPets (which doesn’t exist). Google search console shows 1000 404 bad links like this. I reset permalinks. I looked at my XML sitemap and don’t see any links with the website name attached to the end. It started the day I installed this theme. Do you have any idea why I’m getting all these links with the website name appended to the end of every post and page link?

Hello,

We do not have such reports so This probably comes from somewhere else. Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer. clear cache and reset cdn files.
Try to use the google webmaster tools and have google re-crawl your site.
