Problem in disabling canonical 301 redirect

  • Hi,
    I need to disable canonical redirection of category slug. My url structure for a category page looks like https://www.sitename.com/categorybase/categoryslug/subcategory/
    Now when i change the categoryslug in the url to any other word, say catslug, it still takes me to the same page. I want this url to return a 404 page.
    My htaccess file has the following:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    I think that the solution is somewhere else as the same htaccess file is used on a different website and that site shows up a 404 page when i do the same stuff over there.Any ideas?
    Thanks
