   I'd like to save all the links of pages on my site that used to exist but I no longer know where they are. I think they're giving 404 errors.

   I've tried the Link Juice Keeper plugin but it doesnt seem to be compatible with WP3.0

   I've tried the Redirection plugin, with the following variations as source URL

   mydomain.com/*
   mydomain.com/.*
   mydomain.com/(.*)

   But I'm still getting 404 errors that dont get redirected. Does anyone know the solution, or plugin?

   jiri2,

   Have you tried htaccess forwarding? I'm assuming this is what the redirection plugin may have been attempting but it's worth a look. http://webmaster.iu.edu/tool_guide_info/redirect.shtml

   hi doc4,
   thanks for the feedback.

   however i'm looking for redirects from 404 errors to, say, my mainpage.

   That htaccess trick is close but not quite, since it gets a specific page and redirects it. I dont know all the specific pages that used to be there so I'd prefer to redirect all the 404 errors my subdirectories might offer to aged links. So what i'm looking for is a redirect of all the pages under a domain that aren't the ones I'm creating now.

   Jiri, you need to enter relative source URLs into Redirection:

   /(.*) => something

   jiri2,

   Why not set up a redirect on your 404.php file then. That should simply cover everything.
