 * I am trying to “hijack” the 404 page for some custom functions based on the URI
   request but WordPress is automatically redirecting to posts or pages that have
   similar keywords despite the fact that the URI it gets redirected to is not even
   close to what is requested. How do I prevent WordPress from automatically doing
   these 301s?

 * I have these in .htaccess, and I think something like that to get to your custom
   file might do the trick:
 *     ```
       ErrorDocument 400 /400.php
       ErrorDocument 401 /401.php
       ErrorDocument 403 /403.php
       ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
       ```
