Sorry for making three posts under the same topic. One last edit:
It is important to note that instead of going to the 404 page it stays with whatever you entered into the URL and brings up the dummy page.

This is the .htaccess file. Nothing is weird in here:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(.*)$ https://www.mandiberg.com/$4

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

#Redirect permanent /?q=rss.xml https://www.mandiberg.com/feed/

Here is a list of sites that I also checked out for help on this issue:

• https://blog.sucuri.net/2013/04/wordpress-malicious-plugin-wpppm-abusing-404-redirects-with-seo-poisoning.html
• https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/mysterious-page-flipping-site-hacked-also-spam-redirects-from-searches?replies=4
• https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/website-redirect-to-another-site-containing-malware?replies=5
• https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/false-subdomain-links-to-spam-not-404-page-even-though-site-is-clean?replies=4

The last paragraph before the closing line is a bit misleading. It should have said:
“We do not know whether or not the spam redirect started at this time, as we only learned of it one week ago.”

Thanks Bryan,

I just tried that on our test site and we get a 404. You can see that here: https://www.nyap.00mm.org/social
I have also tried it with the social hashtags that I am using on the site “instagram”, “beef”, and “goethe” and still get a 404 as well as the categories.

Do I need to create a regular wordpress page first? Or is there something else I am missing?
