• Want to like. Even upgraded to premium (this review is based on the free version though).

    First the good.

    1. It has a pretty, and relatively easy to use UI.

    Now the not so good.

    1. This is the main issue for me. It gives a log of 404’s. Great, that is what it absolutely should do. But it doesnt allow you to see how many times a specific URL has been tried. The reason this is important is because it gives you a priority list so you can focus on setting a manual redirect for pages that are hit the most incorrectly. Hugely beneficial for sites that have recent underwent a makeover, etc. You should also be able to filter based on time, so you can see what the most frequent 404’s were the past day, week, month, 6 months, year, lifetime, and custom ranges, etc.

    2. The auto-redirect is a gimmick. The WP 404 Auto Redirect to Similar Post plugin that hasnt been updated in 3 years works better (oh and also has the functionality discussed above, amazingly).

    Every time I go to use this plugin (again, that I now paid for a premium license in) I am disappointed. There is more, but I really wish the devs would just focus on these two things.
