WP::handle_404()

Since
2.0.0
Source
wp-includes/class-wp.php:724
Set the Headers for 404, if nothing is found for requested URL.

Description

Issue a 404 if a request doesn't match any posts and doesn't match any object (e.g. an existing-but-empty category, tag, author) and a 404 was not already issued, and if the request was not a search or the homepage. Otherwise, issue a 200. This sets headers after posts have been queried. handle_404() really means "handle status".By inspecting the result of querying posts, seemingly successful requests can be switched to a 404 so that canonical redirection logic can kick in.
