Disable URL Autocorrect Guessing

Sharraxaad

This plugin disables WordPress’ URL autocorrection guessing feature.
If you for example enter the URL http://www.myblog.com/proj you won’t be redirected
to http://www.myblog.com/project-2013 anymore.

This plugin is based on the example here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16557

Rakibaad

  1. Upload disable-url-autocorrect-guessing.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

This plugin works well on my WordPress 6.4.2 site Thanks Hauke, this is very helpful for the very confidential site I’m working on.

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' ); https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/06/26/wordpress-5-5-better-fine-grained-control-of-redirect_guess_404_permalink/ Until then. Must have!

It’s pretty horrible that wordpress auto-guesses a url because it will break pagination when category pages are auto-guessed and that leads to lots of internal 404s by webmasters. I got this plugin working and it solved all my problems. Just make sure you purge any cdn and cache. I think it also might conflict with some Drupal to Wordpress migration plugins, so you’ll have to disable those eventually.
