Gonzalo, I suppose this fixed the issue your listener is having as well. Just reopen this or a new ticket with details if not!
thanks

Hey wdyim. This should be fixed with version 1.6.7. Let me know how it goes.

thanks

Ah thanks for the additional info wdyim. That should be enough to figure out the issue. I’ll put a new version out as soon as I can.

Thanks for the feedback wdyim!

Hey Gonzalo. Thanks for the feedback. That’s interesting that someone’s having an issue with the Option tab, because someone named Mike emailed me about that as well. This is what I asked him.

Can you view the debug log by typing in the URL directly? It’s something like https://www.website_url.com/wp-content/plugins/404-solution/abj404_debug.txt where website_url is the domain of your website? If not, can you FTP into the site and download the file? The file can be found in the directory <wordpress installation directory>/wp-content/plugins/404-solution/. Maybe there’s an error message in there that will give me some more information. If you could send me the contents of the file that would be great.

thanks!

The issue seems to be caused by canonical redirects. Let me know if version 1.6.6 solves the issue for you.

thanks!

Hey ozzymuppet,

Thanks for the positive feedback. I’m glad the plugin is helping.

Ah I noticed that there’s a forward slash at the end of the redirected URL. This has been a bug that I’ve been ignoring for a while. So for a page with the URL “about” it will show up as a redirect to “about/” if the slash wasn’t in the originally requested URL.

Let me see what I can do about fixing that and see if it solves your issue.

Those are good ideas. I added a “rows per page” option to the admin tab views, so that will be included in the next version (1.6.4). As for ignoring particular user agents (like the google bot), I wanted to have a log of how many requests have been ignored somewhere before implementing that, but maybe it’s not that important… And I agree the logs are a mess. I think we should be able to delete logs by date (older than X days for example). Changing how they work is a long term project I have. Thanks for the feedback!

Let me know if things are better with the strange URLs with version 1.6.3 if you get a chance.

ozzymuppet,

I corrected an issue with query strings beings used (?p=1234 for example). Perhaps this was related to what you’re seeing. I also added more information to the debug log, so if you turn on the debug log and it happens again then you can send me the debug log (or look at the timestamp from the log in the GUI and find the messages with the same time in the debug log and send me that). The log includes the user agent, referrer, and requested URL so should tell us where the request is coming from.

Let me know how it goes for version 1.6.3?

thanks

Hm this is strange. Let me add more information to the debug log (all of the various $_SERVER information) and see if I can get something similar to happen on my end. I’ll let you know what I find and include the new debug information in a new version so that you can send me your logs if it keeps happening for you.

Hey ozzymuppet. Thanks for the great review!

Thanks for the review scozzari!

I’d also like to know what code I need to add to make the suggestions work.
Some places say to add

<?php if (function_exists( 'wbz404_suggestions' ) ) { wbz404_suggestions(); } ?>

to 404.php but my theme doesn’t have a 404.php.

I am using the latest version of Google Chrome. I tried this with Firefox as well and it still didn’t work. The new tab to login just opened and then closed immediately, like it was treated as a popup that was blocked. I got this to work by going to google.com first and logging in there, then in the same tab going back to my wordpress site and trying again twice. It worked the second time.

I’d like to reposition the date as well. I’d like to have it be to the left of the title though… thanks!
