Description
404 to 301 – Logs Exporter is the official CSV export add-on for the 404 to 301 plugin. It adds an Export button to the 404 Logs page so you can download every logged 404 error — or just the rows matching your current filters — as a clean, spreadsheet-ready CSV file.
Use it to share broken-link reports with your SEO team, back up your 404 history before pruning, hand off audits to clients, or feed your logs into any tool that reads CSV — Google Sheets, Excel, Numbers, Looker Studio, or your own scripts.
Why use Logs Exporter?
- One-click CSV export straight from the 404 Logs page — no SQL, no phpMyAdmin, no copy-paste.
- Filter-aware — the export respects whatever date range, status filter or search query you have applied, so you only get the rows you actually want.
- Streamed download — large log tables are streamed row-by-row, so exports work even on shared hosts without exhausting memory.
- Spreadsheet-ready columns — requested URL, referrer, IP, user agent, hit count, status and timestamps, all in standard CSV format.
- Date-stamped filenames — repeated exports don’t clobber each other in your downloads folder.
- GDPR-aware — IP-masking settings from the parent plugin are respected in the export.
Built for the 404 to 301 workflow
This add-on is a light-weight companion to the parent plugin. It hooks into the existing 404 Logs screen and re-uses the same filters, capabilities and database tables, so there’s nothing new to learn.
- No new settings page — the Export button appears right where you read your logs.
- Requires the free 404 to 301 plugin (4.0 or newer).
- Same coding standards, security model and multisite behaviour as the parent plugin.

FAQ
-
Do I need the 404 to 301 plugin installed?
-
Yes. This is an add-on for the free 404 to 301 plugin (4.0 or newer). Without it, there are no logs to export.
-
What columns are included in the CSV?
-
The export includes the requested URL, referrer, IP address (masked if you enabled IP masking in the parent plugin), user agent, hit count, lifecycle status, first-hit and last-hit timestamps.
-
Does the export respect my current filters?
-
Yes. Whatever date range, status filter or search query you have applied on the Logs page is applied to the export. Clear the filters to export everything.
-
Will it work on large log tables?
-
Yes. Rows are streamed to the browser as the CSV is written, so memory usage stays flat even on log tables with hundreds of thousands of rows.
-
Is it GDPR-friendly?
-
Yes. IP masking from the parent plugin’s settings is respected, so masked IPs stay masked in the exported file.
-
Does it support multisite?
-
Yes. Each site in the network exports its own 404 logs.
-
Where can I get help?
-
Read the documentation or post on the support forum.
