  Hi. I´ve noticed that many sites made under wordpress, shows the same home page typping: http://www.MYSITE.com and http://www.MYSITE.com/page2 or page3, 4, 1000, etc. I think it should give a ‘not existing page’ advice or going back to the real home page (www.MYSITE.com).

  How can I do so when typing http://www.MYSITE.com/page2 it takes me to the real http://www.MYSITE.com or give a ‘not existing page advice’?

  Thanks in advantage

  Why you can see my home page when type:
  http://www.myhomepage.com and whenyou type:
  ww.myhomepage.com/PAGE2 or PAGE3, etc?

  You can visit any page in WordPress althougn they have or not elements for pagination.

  I think it sould give you back to the canonical http://www.myhomepage.com or give you a 404 error, but it does not have any sense to keep the strucutre in the url.

  It is not an error for google search but I would like to know how can I avoid it.
