<p>Allows you te set a page to be used as the 404 page. In order for the plugin to work you need to make some modifications to the <code>404.php</code> file in your theme. I set it this way so that the 404 page could be formatted to fit the theme, or can be set more dynamically.</p>

<p>Although this plugin will work with WordPress 2.8, it’s better suited for version 3.x.</p>

<p>If you don’t like the typical 404 page than you can redirect all 404 page not found errors permantly (or temporarily) to the start page or any other site/page you like.</p>
<p>This will help you solve problems with external bad links which are not under your influence.</p>
<p>Chose between 301 – Moved permanently (default) and 302 – Moved temporarily.</p>
<h3>Remove plugin</h3>
<ol>
<li>Deactivate plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress</li>
<li>Delete plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress</li>
</ol>
<p>It’s best to use the build in delete function of wordpress. That way all the stored data will be removed and no orphaned data will stay.</p>
<h3>To do</h3>
<p>More translations. Does someone wants to help?</p>


404 to Start

Send 404 page not found error directly to start page (or any other page/site) to overcome problems with search engines. With optional email alert.
