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.

Stop 404 Guessing

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

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>
