I am trying to: Understand what is going on with my urls
I visited this URL:example.com/WhateverDirItDoesn'tMatter/gator forwords to example.com/codeword/gator
I expected to see: I would expect to see a 404 error
Instead, I got: it redirecting to the codeword url
I'm not sure how or why it is doing this. Heck, I'm not even sure it is a bad thing but I don't get it. If I do another directory down I will indeed get a 404 example.com/dir/2/gator will fail.
Can you please provide some debug information for your website? You can find debug information under Types -> Help and look for "debug information page" link almost at end of the page. By clicking the link you will be taken to another page, just copy and paste the information in the relevant area on this page. Please see attached image.
I have enabled Debug Information area for your next reply.
Your debug information looks fine, however I have a few suspects, can you please consider followings?
- Please try disabling your plugins 1-by-1 and keep checking if it fixes the issue.
- Please try with a Word Press default theme, such as TwentyFourteen and etc.
- Looks like you are using an embedded Web Server (Atari 2600). I tried searching over Google and found following results:
- hidden link
- hidden link
If these are relevant to your Web Server and your web server really falls under that. Can I ask you to try with some standard Web Servers, such as Apache and IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Server)?
On the other hand, I will require a temporary access to your website, so I can look into more details, after considering above mentioned points.
Every plugin disabled. Results are...
site.com/codeword/gator --> Displays homepage with the url as site.com/codeword/gator
site.com/invalid/gator --> 404
site.com/gator --> 404
Only Types activated. Results are...
site.com/codeword/gator --> shows page as expected
site.com/invalid/gator --> redirects to site.com/codeword/gator (expect a 404)
site.com/gator --> redirects to site.com/codeword/gator (expect a 404)
My .htaccess is as follows...
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Options All -Indexes
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
As for the server...
It is Apache II LAMP server. I was just getting cute with having the server return Atari_2600 when setting them up 😉
Can I ask for a temporary access to your website? So I can look into the matter in more detail. I have set your next reply as Private, please consider supplying all relevant information in that area.
