 * I was looking through our Google Search results and I see that this page is being
   indexed. When I click on it, a page dump of various content from all over our
   site is showing. Shouldn’t it be redirecting to a 404 page? Why is this happening?
   Is this a WP issue?

 * Hello there,
 * I took a look at this and could not figure it out but have a couple of clues 
   that might help you. It seems that the page being brought up is related to the
   blog post listing page. In the body tag, I see:
 * `<body class="blog paged`
 * I also believe this is related to the variable “term” in your query string. If
   you just use that single variable, and set it to anything, you will get this 
   same page. Here is an example:
 * [https://kyledavidgroup.com/page/3/?term=sdsadasd](https://kyledavidgroup.com/page/3/?term=sdsadasd)
 * It also seems to only work with a pattern like “page/<number>”. So I am suspecting
   a rewrite rule of some kind being part of it? For example, check out:
 * [https://kyledavidgroup.com/pagesdasdasdasdadadadsaddsadasd/2](https://kyledavidgroup.com/pagesdasdasdasdadadadsaddsadasd/2)–
   this brings you to an empty blog post.
 * If it begins with “page” followed by a slash and a number, it seems to be hitting
   some kind of rewrite.
 * So, I would take a look at your .htaccess rules and then do some debugging in
   your blog template file. I hope this helps point you in the right direction.
 * Sincerely,
    Scott
