Redirectioner

Redirectioner records all URLs that users have visited and allows the admin to easily create 301 and 302 redirects to valid pages on their site.

How long does it take for 404 URLs to start showing up?

As long as the “Capture incoming 404 URLs” option is enabled in the options section, the 404 URLs will show up in the captured list as soon as a visitor hits a 404 page.

Will there be a slow down on my site when running the plugin?

No, there should be no noticeable slow down when running the plugin on your site.

Will this plugin redirect my pages if I change my permalinks structure?

Yes! 404 Redirected records the page/post ID number and looks up the most current permalink before redirecting the user.

Can I redirect all 404’s to a particular page?

No, that’s not what this plugin is for. This plugin is designed to make your visitors experience better by automatically fixing 404 problems caused by typos.

The functionality this plugin offers is incredible. More useful than any of the paid plugins I've purchased. Please ensure you keep updating this - I think you can have a real powerhouse here, along the lines of Yoast etc.

After spending a considerate amount adding old URL's they just disappeared for no reason. Also, the plugin does not capture any 404 URL's.

This plugin is not reliable at all. Many times I have set 404 redirects in this plugin only to come back a few days later and find all redirects gone.

Was broken after 1.4.2, but 1.4.3 fixed it. Thank you for the great support, this is definitely the best 404 Plugin! (For some reason this site shows my rating as 2 stars, it should be 5 stars...)
