Using v. 3.4-beta4-20766 twenty 11 theme no plugins WordPress is redirecting to my home page instead of issuing a page not found error when people looking to buy garbage (insert spam term here) are sent to pages Spammers wish were on my site .
For instance try appending /?page_name=trash&id=1995 to any WordPress url. Instead of getting a page not found it goes to the home page. This is bad because Google's algorithm seems to associate the trash terms with my site if it doesn't get a 401 error. I could be wrong about Google's associations but the trash terms are not in my theme, content, or database and Google hasn't reduced the keyword standings for the trash terms. - On my best day I get 20,000 hits that may be legit. With the miracle of spam my pages can get 80,000 hits. Guess what Google thinks are significant terms for my site. Is this a bug or have I missed the beauty of something?
