The redirect status code can be selected among:
<ul>
<li>Moved Permanently (301)</li>

Groups 404 Redirect

I know this plugin hasn't been updated in a couple years, but IMHO Groups and its related plugins (like this one) are a hidden gem for WordPress sites. So many people jump to complicated membership plugins when they could do everything they need with Groups. This 404 redirect add-on works like a charm. I'm using it on the latest version of WP 5.x

Perfect.

Redirect 404's when a visitor tries to access a page protected by Groups.
