404 Redirect

404 Redirect sends unknown URLs to a page or custom URL you choose, instead of a generic 404 page.

What it does

Catches front-end 404s and redirects to a specific page or custom URL.
Supports 302 (temporary, recommended) or 301 (permanent) status codes.
If the target page or URL is empty or invalid, visitors stay on a normal 404. The module will not send them to a blank destination.

When to use it

Enable it if:

You want one fallback for old or mistyped URLs.
You would rather send unknown requests to a helpful page than a generic 404.

When not to use it

Settings

Redirect To — a specific page or a custom URL.
Redirect status — 302 temporary (recommended) or 301 permanent.
Leave the target empty if you want unknown URLs to stay as 404s.

How to enable it

Go to WP PowerSuite → Modules.
Open SEO & Visibility or search for 404 Redirect.
Toggle 404 Redirect on.
Choose a real page or URL, then save.

Toggle it off anytime to stop this module from loading.

How to test it

Confirm 404 Redirect is enabled and a target is saved.
Visit a URL that does not exist.
✅ Pass: you land on the chosen page or URL.
❌ Fail: if the target is empty, a 404 is expected. Otherwise check for another redirect plugin.

Troubleshooting

No change after enabling. Confirm the toggle is on, hard-refresh, and review this module’s settings.
Conflicts. Temporarily disable other plugins that implement the same feature.
Unexpected side effect. Toggle 404 Redirect off to revert, then re-enable with adjusted settings.

Manage with WP-CLI

Prefer the command line? You can turn this module on or off with WP-CLI instead of the dashboard:

# Turn the module on
wp powersuite module enable 404-redirect

# Turn the module off
wp powersuite module disable 404-redirect

# Check whether it is on, its category, and where its settings live
wp powersuite module get 404-redirect

Managing more than one site? Add --url=https://example.com to point a command at one site. If this is a Pro module, install WP PowerSuite Pro and activate your license first. New to WP-CLI? See the full command guide.
