to do list

    Hi Aaron,

    Thanks for working on the fork of this plugin, it’s great.

    I have a suggestion if that’s OK?

    I am working through redirects on a client site I didn’t build and there are over 4k of detected 404s I need to fix. Most are garbage ones and I am bulk selecting those and clicking “mark as ignored” which is great.

    However, there are some that I want to address, but not right at the moment as I am trying to clear the list – so would it be possible to add another option to the dropdown of “to do” or something similar which puts it into another tab so you can go back and correct those 404s later.

    You may ask “why not fix them now” – well, I need to liaise with my client and find out what content they would like the 404 mapping to and that could take a few days to get a response.

    If I just untick them, they stay in the list and when I then do a bulk “mark as ignored) I have to manually untick each item each time as they are still appearing in the list and I am going to have to go through about 100 pages of this and do that every time.

    I hope that makes sense ??

    wireplay,

    Thanks for the kind words about the plugin. This is a temporary problem though right? Once you go through it once then you’ll never need the function again?

    thanks

    You’re welcome – it’s great!

    No, it’s not a one-off for me. If you run your own site and you’re on it every day, you’re never going to have this problem, but I’m an SEO and I work on multiple client sites and I usually log into a site every couple of weeks to manage the 404s, sometimes once a month – it really depends on what budget my client has.

    On most of my sites, there are always lots of random hacking attempts, so 404s exist for things like https://www.domain.com/ghtsh & https://www.domain.com/hkwhy etc. hundreds of them, so stuff will easily get lost in the mix.

    Another thing is that as I install it now on all my new clients sites, I have the same problem again with every new install, so it’s going to start afresh each time I win a new contract.

    Another suggestion I spotted on another 404 tool is that it also emails you when a new 404 is detected (you can set the number of 404s to exist before an email is sent) which is a nice feature.

    Thanks.
