I encounter a strange problem with our WordPress site.
When I check the URL:
/
Everything is fine.
When I pass several parameters to the URL, for example:
/?os=Windows¶m2=abc¶m3=def
/?os=Windows
Both will be OK.
However, when I pass the parameter cat=xxx to the URL:
/?cat=Networking
I will get 404 not found error. It seems that only this parameter will cause problems. Why?

Reset to default 0Probably WordPress gets "cat" as a category query and tries to load it. Tested in a project of mine and I also get a 404 error.
