Thanks Dave, that does makes sense. I'm guessing the home.php is similar in that sense then.

I'm using the 'standard' query for the blog, not custom. Also, my pagination doesn't do anything fancy, it constructs the same URL is prev/next entries using get_pagenum_link(). Thanks for looking at it more, it still feels strange that this is the default behaviour.. oh well.

| Mar 20, 2012 at 12:58 | comment | added | Dave Hunt | Sorry I should've been more clear. It is the default behaviour when running a custom query, since you are feeding in the $paged variable yourself. If you let it use the default query behaviour for whatever template you are using (like a category page) then it should figure it out on its own. | |
| Mar 20, 2012 at 12:36 | comment | added | dashaluna | Yes, that's right, the category pages with non-existent page number gets redirected to 404. But not the main Blog non-existent pages.. Does that make sense? I've tried to describe it in the main question. I would thought it would be the same, but it doesn't seem to trigger 404 in the latter case. | |
| Mar 20, 2012 at 12:24 | comment | added | fuxia♦ | The link leads to a category page without posts. It's a 404 … because that is the default behavior. | |
| Mar 20, 2012 at 12:19 | comment | added | dashaluna | @toscho, yes it somehow doesn't feel like a default behaviour.. It would be nice to know why that's happening. Hm, I'm not sure what I'm looking at at that link? :S | |
| Mar 20, 2012 at 12:08 | comment | added | fuxia♦ | This is not the default behavior. Try ma.tt/category/meta/page/20 :D | |

Also, I was wondering if the following statements do the same thing: $wp_query->is_404 = true; and $GLOBALS['wp_query']->is_404 = true; and $wp_query->set_404(); Does it make difference which one to use? Similarly, are these the same as well: status_header(404); and header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"); and whether it makes difference to use them? Thanks!

| Mar 20, 2012 at 11:20 | comment | added | dashaluna | Wow, I'm impressed that it's a default WP behavior. Surely this is one of the top scenarios for a blog with a page being set up as "Posts Page". Gonna try your solution now. Thanks! | |
