The matching is based on the slug of the content not found and searches also on taxonomy pages (tags & categories). This is perfect when you have changed the permalink settings of your taxonomies. All redirects are permanent (301) which is a SEO best practice. Since this plugin doesn’t need any configuration it works perfect in WordPress Network / multisite setup. ## Installation 1. Upload ‘404-redirector.php’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Finished, the plugin work. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8c021a97d564219b9337d055d3df4985465de4bf94ed5ce925a63c432484cc6e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Replaces all the complicated setup/maintenance of 2 other plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replaces-all-the-complicated-setupmaintenance-of-2-other-plugins/)󠁿 [david57](https://profiles.wordpress.org/david57/) September 3, 2016 Great plugin! Install and activate. Voila! If this plugin had fuzzy name matching to handle misspelled URL it would be better than perfect.
