WordPress URL Issue – Incorrect Pages Accessible

    Hello Forum Members,

    I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been encountering a perplexing issue with my WordPress website, specifically regarding URL behavior. Despite my expectation that entering a random word in the URL should lead to a 404 error, the page still opens correctly.

    For instance, if I enter a URL like https://xyz.com/product-category/xgyj/exterior-stone-tiles/, it should ideally result in a 404 error since ‘xgyj’ is not a valid category. However, the page opens as if the URL were correct.

    I have checked my permalinks, .htaccess file, and WordPress settings, but I can’t seem to pinpoint the source of this anomaly. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue, or does anyone have insights into how I can resolve this?

    Your assistance is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

    Best regards,

    Hello!

    Thank you for reaching out to the free support forums for websites hosted on WordPress.com. While it sounds like your site is not hosted with us, we’re here to guide you in the right direction for assistance.

    Since you’re using the open-source version of the WordPress platform, which operates differently from what we provide on WordPress.com, you can find help at the community forums here:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    The community members in the open-source forum are well-versed in these matters and are in the best position to offer support.

    I hope this information helps guide you in the right direction. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions or need more assistance.
