<h2>Stop Losing Customers to Dead Product Links</h2>
<p>Every deleted product leaves behind a trail of broken URLs – from Google search results, Pinterest pins, social media posts, and customer bookmarks. Without a redirect, those visitors hit a generic 404 error page and leave your store forever.</p>
<p><strong>Product 404 Redirects for WooCommerce</strong> automatically intercepts these dead-end URLs and sends visitors to the most relevant category page, turning lost traffic into browsing customers.</p>
<h3>Why You Need This Plugin</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>SEO-Friendly 301 Redirects</strong> – Search engines transfer link equity to the category page instead of indexing dead URLs, protecting your search rankings.</li>
<li><strong>Intelligent Category Matching</strong> – Automatically picks the most specific, most populated category the product belonged to, so visitors land on a page full of relevant products.</li>
<li><strong>Zero Configuration</strong> – Install, activate, done. Works immediately on previously deleted products too.</li>
<li><strong>Proactive Mapping</strong> – Captures product-to-category relationships the moment a product is trashed or deleted, so even permanently removed products are covered.</li>
<li><strong>Visitor-Friendly Notice</strong> – A subtle, dismissible toast notification lets the customer know what happened and invites them to keep browsing.</li>
<li><strong>Dashboard Analytics</strong> – Track how many visitors you have rescued in real time: today, last 7 days, last 30 days, and all-time.</li>
<li><strong>Redirect Manager</strong> – View all saved redirect rules, monitor hit counts, and remove rules you no longer need.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> – No external dependencies, no JavaScript frameworks, no bloat. A single tiny database query runs only on 404 pages.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>A visitor clicks on an old link to a deleted product.</li>
<li>The plugin detects the 404 and looks up the product slug in its redirect map, the WordPress trash, and the slug history.</li>
<li>It issues a 301 redirect to the best-matching category page.</li>
<li>A small toast notification appears, letting the visitor know the original product is no longer available.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Fully Configurable</h3>
<p>Customize the notice text, auto-dismiss duration, and styling with your own CSS. Enable or disable the shop page fallback for products whose categories have also been deleted. Set log retention to control how long analytics data is kept. Everything is managed from a clean settings panel under <strong>WooCommerce > Product 404 Redirects</strong>.</p>
<h3>Built for Performance and Compatibility</h3>
<p>Product 404 Redirects adds zero overhead to normal page loads. It only activates on 404 responses, works seamlessly with all major caching plugins and CDNs, and is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).</p>

<p>Menu by User Roles extension enables you to personalize your website menus for different people — non-logged-in users, B2B, wholesalers, retailers, and other VIP user roles. You can show/hide the entire menu, or its individual items, by specific user roles.</p>
<p>It’s a perfect extension for B2B & B2C merchants who want to control the visibility of their WordPress menus. Create a personalized user experience by showing the relevant menus to the right users.</p>
<h2>Benefits:</h2>
<p><strong>Member Only Store:</strong></p>
<p>If you have set up a members-only store, you might want to hide menus and only show relevant pages to guest users, so they understand why this store is private. It can also be useful to add pages like benefits, prices, etc., to get more memberships.</p>
<p><strong>B2B & B2C Stores: </strong></p>
<p>If you have a hybrid website, and you manage both B2B and B2C customers in the same store, then this is a must-have extension for you. It will allow you to set up various menus for different user roles, like B2B, wholesalers, retailers, general customers, and guest users.</p>
<h2>Hiding Menu Items:</h2>

<h2>Hide Menus:</h2>
<p>Unlike other extensions, this one allows you to assign whole menus to specific user types. Instead of assigning the items individually, you can create multiple menus by using the standard WordPress Menu feature and then using this extension to assign these menus to specific user roles and guest customers.</p>
