This has been an issue in core for a while, http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10722. The simplest solution is to just overwrite the headers on ‘template_redirect’. You can replace them as long as you haven’t started any output yet, which you shouldn’t have at this point. Just call status_header( 200 ); No cache headers are also sent when the … Read more
Jan Fabry wrote a very useful plugin that I think it would be helpful for you to analyze your rewrite rules.
post_status is part of the $post object which you can use to determine if it is published, a draft, pending, etc. if( $post->post_status == ‘pending’ ) // do stuff
I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with your approach, I see it pretty often. You could hook parse_request and 301 redirect any requests to footer to the front page. I wonder though how visitors would end up there in the first place, as long as you exclude it from the sitemap and don’t link … Read more

Here’s the updated web.config: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name=”WordPress Rule 1″ stopProcessing=”true”> … Read more
On every page load, WordPress executes these functions in their respective order: init(); parse_request($query_args); send_headers(); query_posts(); handle_404(); register_globals(); where the main query is finished after query_posts(). Note that in this point in time, WordPress knows the template AND all the query variables like max_num_pages. In handle_404(), if the main query has any posts, the function … Read more
By the time you reach the template, WordPress has already queried the database and decided what to display based on those results. You’re seeing a 404 error because based on the default main query, there are no more posts to show. When you call query_posts in the template, you overwrite that original query. Despite the … Read more
Your theme or plugins are most likely modifying the “Lost password” link on your wp-login.php via the lostpassword_url filter. How do I reset the “change password” page to the WP default one? One would need to remove those filters callbacks. Here’s one (untested) suggestion: add_filter( ‘lostpassword_url’, function( $url, $redirect ) { remove_all_filters( ‘lostpassword_url’ ); return … Read more
