Bolt on to the Theme My Login plugin by Jeff Farthing. Instead of giving 404 error – if disable wp-login.php is selected – it redirects to the relevant TML page.
I created this because there were many links on my sites to /wp-login.php and /wp-login.php?action=register and enabling this security option broke the site.
The code was written by Jeff on the forum – I’m publishing it to help others who may have had the same issue.

<li>404s should not be redirected globally to the home page.</li>

If you want to improve your WordPress 404 page handling and avoid SEO effects on your “404 Page Not Found” links, just install this WordPress 404 plugin and it’ll take care of your 404s 😉
<h3>Why does Forty Four stand out from the rest?</h3>
Super Lightweight WordPress 404 Page 
Forty Four Plugin creates custom page design that you can modify easily on Appearance > 404 Page. It doesn’t load the unnecessary scripts, css, images and other links to 404 page. Visitors shouldn’t have to wait too long for the page to load if it’s not available! By doing this approach you’ll lessen the requests and loading time.
Modern Custom 404 Page Design 
If you want better, responsive and modern 404 page design you should definitely install Forty Four! Of course you can upload your own background image and change the color scheme! Time to ditch your default theme 404 page 😉
Visit Logs 
All 404 links visited on your sites are available on Appearance > 404 Page: Logs. You can check the 404 links and how many times the pages were viewed.
Custom Redirects 
You can also add custom redirect for each links on Appearance > 404 Page: Logs. Not just 301 which is very recommended for SEO purposes, 302 and 307 redirect type is also available. There’s no need for additional WordPress 404 to 301 Plugin!
