This is the plugin I really need right now. This plugin is useful for preventing random spam backlinks which have started some time ago and I have felt the bad effects now, seo rank dropped.
Unfortunately there are no more updates ??

Not sure if this plugin is maintained anymore, but the entire plugin is just one line of code:

add_filter( 'do_redirect_guess_404_permalink', '__return_false' );

This did not work for us with WP 6.1.x – instead we had to use this:

add_filter( 'pre_redirect_guess_404_permalink', '__return_false' );

If the plugin is no longer maintained… just add that line of code to your custom or child theme functions.php or to a custom plugin you maintain.

After updating WordPress to version v5.6.2 plugin slow down wp-admin almost 5 seconds on every request when is enable.

Any fix please ?

Hello,

I have enable the plugin, but it is not working. Autocorrect is not disable.

I use WP 5.5

I can give you URL of my website in private if you want.

Thanks

This is a must have. WP guesses the most wild things without it.
I found thousands of random urls on google, none exists. This plugin makes them 404. like they always should.

A new hook will be added in 5.5
add_filter( 'do_redirect_guess_404_permalink', '__return_false' );

WordPress 5.5: Better fine grained control of redirect_guess_404_permalink()

Until then. Must have

Hello,

Love the idea of the plugin.

The only issue I can see is that when activated the plugin also disables sitewide basic http redirection that is important for SEO in WordPress.

IE https://website.com no longer redirects to https://www.website.com. For SEO, there should just be one version of the website. If I’ve decided to go with https://www.website.com then everything should redirect to that including:

https://website.com
https://www.website.com
https://website.com

This should also be enabled at URL level as well. With https://www.website.com/my-url/ redirecting to:

https://website.com/my-url/
https://www.website.com/my-url/
https://website.com/my-url/

This gives Google one site to look at and is SEO 101. I only say this because it definitely needs to be fixed.

I’m really looking forward to this fix if you have time to make it. The canonical redirection sucks for WP for SEO.

Hi @haukep
Would you consider correcting the capitalization of the “P” in WordPress in a couple of places in the readme?
At the same time, you might update the “Tested up to” field to a current version, perhaps even 5.0 that is soon due.

EditAdd:
Oh, and did you update the current version in trunk readme? In readme, it looks as if the “Dev” version never was “released”.

hi there,
after some month of work with your plugin installed … now i need to de-activated the plugin, so in admin area i disable the plugin but the redirect don’t work?

any suggestion?

best regards.

I have some custom post type pages (private pages) that I don’t want people to be able to guess the URL of. Is there a way to tweak this plugin to only stop the guessing of those post types?

I tried something like:

function remove_redirect_guess_404_permalink( $redirect_url ) {
	if ( is_404() && !isset($_GET['p']) && ( 'private' == get_post_type() ) )
		return false;
	return $redirect_url;
}

add_filter( 'redirect_canonical', 'remove_redirect_guess_404_permalink' );

But it doesn’t seem to work.

Thanks!

Charles

Cannot delete this, but solved it myself, was a silly mistake.

…/engagement-rings/diamond-cluster-ring/ still redirects to
…/engagement-rings/diamond-cluster-ring-4/

Any idea how I can extend the functionality to see all URLs of the Products also?
I’m using woocommerce (which I believe is using POSTS structure for Products?)

Functionality works on pages on the site perfectly.

Thanks!

Hi there,

installed the app, however, https://www.hitradio.com.na/hrn/ is still forwarding to https://www.hitradio.com.na (a WordPress-based page) – although the /hrn/ folder contains a separate joomla installation.

Any ideas?

Many thanks
C
