    Hey all,

    I was reading the article about 404 pages here on css-tricks: I wanted to check out what the 404 page looked like here and started fiddling with the url. To my surprise minor adjustments/errors to the url redirect to the right page instead of to a 404 page: how is that achieved?!

    Regards,

    M

    Check out this htaccess trick. I’m guessing that it also has to be supported by your host, but I’m not 100% sure about that.

    @jamy: I thought about that but it is not the case, if you put another valid word it will still serve the right address. I think it has to do with the posts’ numbering.

    @WouterJ
    : managed to do that… in the end :-)

    css-tricks.com/2901-v would serve the right page
    css-tricks.com/2901 won’t.

    ?

    It’s probably a WP plugin. Such as …
