Does WP keep track of a posts url history, providing rewrites/redirects for former urls? Yes it does. If you change a post slug, wordpress 301 redirects the old to the new URL (if your server setup allows it). Any light on how WP handles this would be appreciated. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen this feature properly … Read more
I believe that is the redirect_canonical function hooked to template_redirect. You should be able to disable it with: remove_filter(‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_canonical’); But you should really think about whether you want to do that as it is fairly complicated and performs some important SEO functions: Redirects incoming links to the proper URL based on the site url. … Read more
In WordPress, URLs don’t map to routes. They map to database queries. When using WordPress in the “default” permalinks mode, you have a set of variables in the main URL query, like ?p=1 or ?page=234 and so forth. There’s also ?s=search and many others. If you use the “pretty” permalinks, then a big set of … Read more
You can just look at url, load the file and exit. That can be done when WordPress loaded its environment, e.g. on ‘init’. add_action(‘init’, function() { $url_path = trim(parse_url(add_query_arg(array()), PHP_URL_PATH), “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”); if ( $url_path === ‘retail’ ) { // load the file if exists $load = locate_template(‘template-retail.php’, true); if ($load) { exit(); // just exit … Read more
This worked for me: remove_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_canonical’);

As per @SinisterBeard‘s very valid comment to the question already a couple of years back now, this answer has long been outdated and the mentioned function(s) hence been replaced by a newer API: See wp_unique_post_slug. Original Answer Off the bat, I can’t give you a page/tutorial/documentation on how WP slugs are generated, but take a … Read more
From my experience and quick code search there are no deliberate ways WP identifies itself in headers. However there are some that seem distinct enough and not likely to be customized. HEAD to /wp-login.php will contain following for .org install: Set-Cookie: wordpress_test_cookie=WP+Cookie+check; path=/ And for .com: Set-Cookie: wordpress_test_cookie=WP+Cookie+check; path=/; domain=.wordpress.com Cookie name is customizable by … Read more
It was woocommerce, it has a setting “geolocalize users with cache support” which adds this parameter to every single url and link. I noticed that the hash appended was the same in every browser on my computer, so I realized it wasn’t a “session” hash, but an IP address hash.
Go to your WP-ADMIN–>Settings–>Permalink and use the permalink structure change there, if it generate any .htaccess file copy the content and update your .htaccess file.
