# Url changes to ?post_type=

 * Hi,
 * I have a page _[ redundant link removed ]_ that for some reasons automatically
   redirects to a url with `?post_type=`.
 * The id matches a product-set with the name “Limabønner”, so I suspect that the/
   lima/ matches the beginning of the product-set name and that’s the cause of the
   redirect.
 * But why is this happening and is there a way to override/stop it?
 * I have other /b/ pages that works fine, for example /b/bodylab/. Probably because
   there are no WP content that starts with the name “Bodylab”.
 * The /b/ pages are a way for my site to display content from a database, i.e. 
   they are not part of the normal WP posts/pages.
 * Thanks,
    Mads
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Furl-changes-to-post_type%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I have tried to do add_action() for `init` and `wp_loaded` – in both cases, the
   url is still `/b/lima/`, i.e. the url/redirect to `?post_type=` happens after
   those two actions.
 * Here’s exactly how it goes:
 *     ```
       init - url is /b/lima
       wp_loaded - url is /b/lima
       init - url is now ?post_type :(
       wp_loaded - url is ?post_type
       template_redirect - url is ?post_type
       ```
   
 * Note that template_redirect is never reached when the url is `/b/lima`.
