Save your visitors from unhelpful 404 errors!
Instead of quickly giving up when a visitor reaches content that doesn’t exist, make an effort to guess what they were 
after in the first place. This plugin will perform a search of your posts, pages, tags and categories, using keywords from the requested 
URL. If there’s a match, redirect to that content instead of showing the error. If there’s more than one match, the 
404 template can use some template tags to provide a list of suggestions to the visitor.
See the <a href="http://michael.tyson.id.au/smart-404" rel="nofollow ugc">Smart 404 homepage</a> for more information.
<h3>Template tags</h3>
<code>smart404_has_suggestions</code>
Returns true if there are some suggestions, false otherwise
<code>smart404_get_suggestions</code>
Retrieve an array of post objects for rendering manually.
<code>smart404_suggestions</code>
Draw a list of suggested posts.
Pass the parameter “list” to render suggestions as a list.
<code>smart404_loop</code>
Query posts for use in a Loop. Eg:
<pre><code><?php smart404_loop(); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
 <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</code></pre>
Note that the loop will not display pages correctly, as it is not built to support them. It is recommended that if you use 
a loop like that above, do not enable searching of pages.
<code>smart404_get_search_terms</code>
Retrieve an array of search terms used to populate the suggestions list, for use with contextual highlighting, etc.

Try it out on your free dummy site: Click here => <a href="https://demo.tastewp.com/redirection" rel="nofollow ugc">https://tastewp.com/plugins/redirect-redirection</a>. 
(this trick works for all plugins in the WP repo – just replace “wordpress” with “tastewp” in the URL)
Create specific URL redirections and redirection rules super-easily on a beautiful, user-friendly interface of the Redirection plugin.
Creating even conditional redirections has never been easier and quicker than with the Redirection plugin.
Creating redirection has never been simpler, but for fine-tuning, you can use a wide choice of advanced options:
<ul>
<li>Redirect HTTP codes can be 301, 302, 303, 304, 307 and 308;</li>
<li>Inclusion and exclusion rules: logged in/out users, specific user role, user’s referrer link, user’s agent, user’s cookie, user’s IP, server, and language;</li>
<li>Redirection rules: Simplified redirection rules as well as advanced RegEx matches – URLs that contain specific string to new or removed string, URLs that start with X, specific permalink structures, RegEx matches, and 404s. Setting redirection rules with several matching conditions is also possible;</li>
<li>Managing all redirects comfortably – enable/disable, edit and delete redirects neatly listed in the plugin menu;</li>
<li>⭐️NEW! 404 page redirection to a Specific URL (e.g. homepage) or to a Random Similar Post;</li>
<li>⭐️NEW! Import/Export redirection lists (both Specific URL Redirections and Redirection Rules);</li>
<li>⭐️NEW! Redirection & 404 Logs – chronological log of all redirections and 404s with a one-click solution to add the redirection and fix the dead links;</li>
<li>Automatic redirects, Change URL – these features are coming soon!</li>
</ul>
This redirect plugin is part of the Inisev product family. Have a look at our <a href="https://inisev.com" rel="nofollow ugc">other projects</a> too please! 🙂
