## Description

If you’ve decided to move things around on your site, you might overlook a few redirects
and end up with some broken URLs. This will help you catch those so you can take
care of them.

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin archive and expand it (you’ve likely already done this).
 2. Upload the 404-notifier.php file to your wp-content/plugins directory (not in a
    sub-folder).
 3. Go to the Plugins page in your WordPress Administration area and click ‘Activate’
    for 404 Notifier. This will create the 404 log table for you.
 4. Optional: Configure your 404 Notifier options and get the RSS feed URL by going
    to Options > 404 Notifier in the WP Admin area.
 5. Optional: Subscribe to the 404 Notifier RSS feed (link on the options page).

Congratulations, you’ve just installed 404 Notifier.

## FAQ

### Does this work with ugly (?p=123) permalinks?

No, this only works if you use pretty permalinks (/2006/01/01/post-name or similar).
From what I can tell, the WordPress code doesn’t flag URLs as 404s with ugly permalinks.

### Anything else?

That about does it – enjoy!
