Custom 404 Pro replaces WordPress’s default 404 behaviour with a proper redirect. Instead of leaving visitors on a dead-end error page, you can send them to any page on your site or an external URL — with the HTTP status code of your choice.
Redirect Modes
- WordPress Page — pick any published page from a dropdown; the plugin redirects to it automatically.
- Custom URL — enter any absolute URL to redirect 404s off-site or to a specific path.
- HTTP Status Code — choose 301, 302, 307, or 308 to match your SEO or caching requirements.
404 Logging
When logging is enabled, the plugin records every 404 hit to a database table so you can see exactly what is broken:
- Request path
- Visitor IP address (can be disabled for privacy/GDPR compliance)
- Referrer URL
- User agent
- Timestamp
Logs are searchable and can be deleted individually, in bulk, or all at once. They can also be exported as a CSV file. A configurable retention policy lets you automatically cap the table by row count, by age, or both — with a daily background cleanup and an on-demand Prune Now button.
Email Notifications
Optionally receive an admin email each time a 404 is logged. Designed for low-traffic monitoring — if you expect high 404 volume, keep this off to avoid inbox flooding.
Multisite Support
Works correctly on WordPress Multisite installations — activation creates the logs table for each site in the network.
Multilingual Support
Compatible with Polylang and WPML . The redirect page is resolved to the correct language variant for the current visitor automatically.
