redirect that working incorrectly!

[markuscode]

Issues that once you going to for example ​https://example.com/example-page-slug/1000/ will redirect you to ​https://example.com/example-page-slug/ . But it's supposed to display 404 page. Is bad for SEO because that redirect using 301.

<?php

class RedirectFixer {
        function __construct(){
                add_filter('request', array($this, 'request'),10,1);
        }

        function request($query) {
                if(isset($query['page']) && (int)$query['page'] > 0) {
                        $query = array(
                                'pagename' => '404'
                        );
                }
                return $query;
        }
}
new RedirectFixer();

This is how to fix it.

I gave it a go myself, and I'm seeing the same behaviour as you reported. URLs like ​https://example.com/example-page-slug/1000/ are redirecting to ​https://example.com/example-page-slug/ instead of showing a 404 page. That 301 redirects isn't doing our SEO any favours.

I can confirm this issue!

Also, it only happens when the SSL Cert (HTTPS) is set before running the initial WP installation (install.php). If the SSL Cert is set on an existing site (after install.php), this issue is not present.
