    This is a problem on both 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 on many of my blogs.

    mywebsite.com/* shows homepage content no matter what you write, meaning I get ALOT of duplicate content problems if someone pings it, means my competition have started pinging on alot of random endings and giving me duplicate content and rankings are falling in Google.

    I tried installing 404-redirection but it do not help. So I went to delete .htaccess file but this just gives me some “error trying to get 404 document”.

    Also tried to put this into .htaccess:

    # 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]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    but it doesnt help… I mean putting in mywebsite.com/asdkasd for example should give me 404 error, but it gives me homepage content. This happens for all themes and multiply blogs(my blognetwork).

    What is going on, could anyone help me out?

    Hi,
    disable all your plugins and switch to the default theme, delete the .htaccess file and resave your permalink setting, then test your website, check to see if you get a correct 404 error page redirect. if everything is ok, reactivate your plugins and theme one by one to see which is causing the issue.
    I never hit this issue with my wordpress sites so at this point I’m thinking this is a plugin/theme.
