<p>Stop 404 Guessing prevents the WordPress Canonical Redirects feature from guessing what page a user might have wanted when they encounter a 404 error. Instead, it will show your 404 template, which may be less confusing and more helpful to the user as well as giving you an opportunity to track the source of the 404 with your analytics package and remedy the issue.</p>


Stop 404 Guessing

Prevent WordPress from guessing what a user meant and just show a 404 page.

<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.
