if (isset($_GET[‘cat’]) && $_GET[‘cat’] == -1) { header(‘Location: 404.php’); exit; Add this to your function.php file. I also faced the same issue on my website. Every time I published a new article, the URL was not getting indexed in search engine and instead of URL, this unknown category shows up: (?cat=-1)
First thing: Category archives default to using this permalink/URL structure: http://example.com/category/<category slug>/ (for page #1) http://example.com/category/<category slug>/page/<page number>/ (for page #2, #3, and so on) So when you visit http://example.com/category/accessories/page/2/, WordPress will automatically make a call to WP_Query and the parameters being used are retrieved from the current page URL: WP_Query( array( ‘category_name’ => ‘accessories’, … Read more
This is really interesting one! I’ve tried to solve this, and here is what I ended up with. With a pure SQL, we have an ability to get all distinct years of all our posts with the following SQL request (recipe founded here): SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(wp_posts.post_date) FROM wp_posts getting something like this: mysql> SELECT DISTINCT … Read more
I finally found a solution. Disable the redirect canonical function with: add_filter( ‘redirect_canonical’, ‘__return_false’ ); And fix the 404 error that results from disabling the redirect canonical with this suggestion
function noindex_comments_pages() { global $cpage; if (!empty($cpage) && $cpage > 1) { echo ‘<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex”>’; echo “\n”; } } add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘noindex_comments_pages’, 9 );
I seemingly found a solution, and this is a lot more complicated than I thought. So to be clear again, let’s say I have a page like this: <header></header> <main> <!– Posts from query (see question) inserted here –> <!– Pagination Links from query (see question) inserted here –> </main> <footer></footer> To generate the <main> … Read more
Glad that you managed to figure out a solution, which yes, does work. But you could make it more selectively, i.e. target just the specific pages, by using is_single( ‘<parent slug>/<child slug>’ ), e.g. is_single( ‘family-law/success-stories’ ) in your case. Secondly, it’s not exactly the redirect_canonical hook which caused the (301) redirect on singular paginated … Read more
This question was more extensively discussed at Hybrid support forum. I made and posted snippet for custom pagination of custom fields content there.
Try creating a new instance of WP_Query and at the end use wp_reset_query(); like this: <?php $my_query = new WP_Query(); $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; $my_query->query(‘cat=”. $id .”&posts_per_page=4&paged=’.$paged); while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?> <?php get_the_content() ?> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php if ( $my_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?> <?php previous_posts_link( __( ‘Previous’, ‘themename’ … Read more
Your form will post back to the URL specified in the action parameter, or to the same URL if you don’t specify it. You start at /books/page/8/, so if your action parameter is empty, the resulting URL will also be /books/page/8/. Just fill in the action parameter with /books/, and it should work.
