 * 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.
