WP is assuming the permalink away from a 404

  • Hello,

    So basically I have a few URLs that 404 but I have a plugin that then changes the headers and redirects it to the new location instead of 404ing.

    The strange part is that if I am redirecting from a category url that doesn’t exist.

    My permalink format for single articles are
    URL.TLD/ID/SLUG

    My categories are formatted as:
    URL.TLD/category/SLUG

    Let’s say we have
    /beauty (a page that actually doesn’t exist anymore)
    and we have an article called
    /152346/beauty-is-in-the-eye/

    /beauty doesn’t exist and so I want it to 404 but instead it will redirect to the aforementioned article.

    Why does it do this and how can I disabled it?

    Thanks,

    Matt
