I am using WordPress as a CMS and a Blog and I am concerned with how the permalinks are being generated and wondering if anyone has this issue.</p> <ul> <li>I have my permalinks custom structure setup as "blog/%postname%/"</li> <li>I also have my Category base setup as "blog/type"</li> <li>I have a page and custom template assigned with the homepage and a page named "blog" set as my posts page under Settings-&gt;Reading</li> </ul> <p>Essentially my URL structure functions as so:</p> <p>Page URLS: <a href="http://www.example.com/pagename/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/pagename/</a><br /> Post URLS: <a href="http://www.example.com/blog/postname/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/blog/postname/</a><br /> Cat. URLS: <a href="http://www.example.com/blog/type/category/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/blog/type/category/</a><br /> Arch URLS: <a href="http://www.example.com/blog/year/date/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/blog/year/date/</a> </p> <p>When I attempt to navigate to a a page I've created "test" which is <a href="http://www.example.com/test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/test/</a>, it works fine. When I try to navigate to <a href="http://www.example.com/blog/test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/blog/test/</a> while debugging my WordPress structure it 302 redirects to the test page instead of a 404 page.</p> <p><a href="http://www.example.com/blog/test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/blog/test/</a> 302 Moved Temporarily instead of<br /> <a href="http://www.example.com/blog/test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/blog/test/</a> 404 </p> <p>I am concerned that any page I create in WordPress, will also be able to be navigated and 302 redirected. </p> <p>Why is this 302 redirected rather than responding to a 404 response header?</p> <p>Do I have to manually go into my .htaccess and 301 redirect this url to stop this? Seems pretty inconvenient. I don't want to sign up for redirecting every page I create manually in my .htaccess file. </p> <p>I am also not looking for any plugin for an answer to this problem. </p> <p>Anyone else get this problem? </p>
