Anonymize IP Addresses in Redirection Logs
Masks the last part of visitor IP addresses before the Redirection plugin stores them in its redirect and 404 logs, keeping the logs useful while respecting privacy laws.
Block IP Addresses That Trigger Many 404 Errors
Temporarily blocks visitors who hit more than 20 missing pages within a minute, a typical sign of vulnerability scanners probing for old plugins and backup files.
Block Pattern: Helpful 404 Page Content
Adds a friendly 404 pattern with a message, a search box and a button home, offered when you edit the 404 template in the Site Editor.
Block Spam Searches
Answers search requests that contain links, markup, very long strings or words you block with a 404, stopping bots from filling search pages with spam.
Disable Date Archives
Makes yearly, monthly and daily archive pages return a 404, which avoids thin duplicate pages on most sites.
Disable Site Search
Turns search off: search URLs return a 404 page, the search form is emptied and the classic Search widget is removed.
Fast 404 for Missing Images, Scripts and Styles
Answers requests for missing images, CSS, JavaScript and font files with a tiny 404 instead of loading a full theme page, saving server time.
Keep Bots Out of Redirection's 404 Log
Stops the Redirection plugin from logging 404s caused by crawlers and vulnerability scanners (wp-login probes, .env and .php file hunts), so the log shows only real broken links.
Log 404 Errors Under Tools
Records the addresses visitors request that do not exist, with hit counts, last seen time and referring page, and lists them under Tools > 404 Log so you can fix or redirect them.
Redirect 404 Pages to the Homepage
Sends visitors who hit a missing page to the homepage instead of showing the 404 template.
Redirect Missing Pages to the Nearest Parent Page
When an address like /services/old-offer/ no longer exists, sends visitors to the closest existing level above it, such as /services/, instead of a dead end.
Redirect Old .html Page Addresses
Sends visitors from addresses of a previous static site, such as /about.html or /services/web.php, to the WordPress page with the same name.
Redirect Old Date-Based Post URLs
After switching from /2019/05/post-name/ style permalinks to plain post names, sends visitors and search engines from the old dated addresses to the right posts.
Redirect Trashed Posts to Their Category
Remembers the address of each post or page you move to the trash and sends later visitors to its category, parent page or the blog page instead of a 404, even after the trash is emptied.
Return 404 for Empty Category and Tag Pages
Shows your "not found" page with a 404 status for categories, tags and other terms that have no published posts, instead of an empty archive.
Return 410 Gone for Removed Pages
Answers requests for pages you deleted on purpose with a "410 Gone" status instead of a 404, so search engines drop them from results faster.
Rewrite Rules Viewer and URL Tester
Adds Tools > Rewrite Rules, listing every rewrite rule and showing which rule and query a URL path you enter would match, for debugging 404s and custom permalinks.
Send Page Numbers Past the End to the Last Page
When someone opens a page number that no longer exists, such as /category/news/page/40/ after you deleted posts, sends them to the real last page instead of a 404.
Send Polylang 404s to the Visitor's Language Homepage
Redirects visitors who hit a missing page in a secondary Polylang language to that language's homepage, so they are not dropped onto a 404 page.
Send Secondary-Language 404s to That Language's Homepage
When a visitor hits a missing page in a non-default WPML language, sends them to the homepage of that language instead of a 404, keeping them in their language.
Send Visitors to Login for Private Posts
When a logged-out visitor opens a private post or page, they are sent to the login screen and back again, instead of seeing a "not found" error.
Stop WordPress Guessing URLs on 404 Pages
Turns off the automatic redirect WordPress makes when a URL does not exist but looks similar to a post slug, so wrong URLs show a real 404.
Stop WordPress Serving Its Logo as favicon.ico
When no Site Icon is set, WordPress answers /favicon.ico with its own logo. This returns a plain 404 instead, so your tab never shows the WordPress logo.
