# error page displaying

 * When I add a URL of a plugin from the WP plugin repository (like samples below),
   I get an 404 error “page not found”. If I add an exact plugin name, it works 
   just fine as it always has.
 * This just started today, it has been working fine up until now.
 * I have tried this on several different blogs, both 4.23 and 4.24 and all get 
   the same response.
 * Anyone have the same experience or a solution?

 * Also found that putting the URL to the plugin page at the repository also causes
   the same error, for example:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/)
 * Not sure if this is a WP 4.23 of 4.24 error since it just started after updating
   some of our blogs to recent versions.
