Send visitors who land on a missing page to your homepage or another page you choose, with 301/302, an optional log, and a built-in test.
About this plugin
Fixora 404 Redirect Homepage helps visitors who follow a broken or outdated link. Instead of showing your theme’s “Page not found” template, WordPress sends them to your homepage, or to any published page on the same site.
Redirection is enabled right after activation, using an HTTP 302 to the homepage, so it works without setup. Open Settings Fixora 404 Redirect to turn it off, switch between 301 and 302, or pick a different destination page.
What it does
- Redirects front-end 404 responses with
wp_safe_redirectto the site homepage or a page you select. - Skips admin, login, REST API, feeds, cron, AJAX, previews, and missing static files (images, CSS, JS, fonts, PDF, etc.) so those stay normal 404s.
- Compares the full request path and query string to the destination so plain-permalink URLs like
/?p=999999still redirect and the homepage does not loop. - Optional log: last 50 redirected URLs with date, requested path and query, and referer (sanitized, truncated). No IP addresses are stored.
- Test redirect now button runs a self-check against a random missing URL on your site.
What it does not do
- No analytics, no remote services, and no visitor IP logging.
