"/?taxonomy=" and other similar urls showing up as their own pages. do not want

  • Hello All,

    URLs such as “mysite.com/?taxonomy=” and “mysite.com/?organizer=123” (i have a calendar plugin) are pulling up their own pages which seem to be using my Main Index Template (index.php), which I would prefer not to happen at all.

    I have a static page set as the homepage and use different page templates for the rest of the site. I was using the Main Index Template as our blog page until we decided to not have a blog.

    I have disabled all plugins, no change. Is this normal behavior? How can I prevent this?

    Thank you

    I’m sorry I’d rather not post my site at this time… but I did find a few using the same theme that have the same issue. I have a Modern Tribe calendar plugin which adds /?tribe_organizer=, /?tribe_venue, /?tribe_events to this mess… which all redirect to my index.php page. And any events, venues, or organizers i add via that plugin are now their own posts.

    https://anatsudri.shared6.lighthost.co.il/?taxonomy= takes you to this site’s post page as well. And it looks like this person, much like me, doesn’t have much going on there and probably would prefer it didn’t show up.

    https://oneglowinglife.com/?taxonomy= same deal, at least this person has their blog/post pages setup.

    I’ll clarify because I think I was confusing.

    Essentially urls like “mysite.com/?taxonomy=” are pointing to my index.php page, and similar urls using that “?something=something” structure are generating posts using index.php.

    I can just delete index.php, but then those urls point to a blank white page. How can I block these urls from pointing to anything other than a 404 page or right back to my static homepage?

    My mistake, the posts are using “single.php”. How do I prevent typing “mysite.com/?tribe_organizer=whatever” or “mysite.com/?taxonomy=whatever” from creating posts at all?

    I am really sorry, without a link to a page that has problems, I am unable to locate the source of the problem. Maybe, someone else will come up with a solution.

    – In the meanwhile, you can try deactivating all plugins and see if it helps.
    – Switching to Twenty Eleven theme so that you can know if the problem is theme-specific.
    – Resetting permalinks that sometimes can help.
