http://www.example.it/page/4?cat=1

I get the error 404 not found

If I visit:

Why does the cat paramenter returns this problem?

Thanks

  1. Cat is a parameter that is used internally by wordpress when parsing arguments. It is actually looking for a category of that kind.

    A 404 will appear if no post has that category associated with that category ID.

    If the category does exist then wordpress will redirect you to either a page or archive listing depending on what you have setup.

    In short. Cat is reserved as a parameter.
