  • Why are you using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site is currently running a very real risk of being hacked? You need to upgrade WordPress asap.

    I’ve updated it, but how do I stop the strange url structure?

    Your website is responding with a 200 status code meaning “yea, this page is ok”. So “luckynbr.com/blahblahblah” is a valid page on your site.

    At the same time https://www.luckyshotpics.com has a url structure similar to what you’re seeing. So my guess is that you link to that site somewhere and goofed up the url, or someone else linked to your site and goofed up the page somehow. Now robots and people are following it. Since that other site is an image site it also could be an image tag, so people aren’t even actively clicking on it, they’re just viewing the page that links to it.

    You can’t do much about how people come into your site so I wouldn’t worry about it. If your logs show the referring site you might be able to get them to fix it, or you can search your own site to see if you’re the culprit.

    The “anything is a valid page” is not a great position to be in. That might be part of your theme, it might be in the .htaccess file.

    Thanks for the information. I appreciate it!
