    I’ve just installed this plugin and, for the most part, think it’s great. But I’m having difficulty understanding the 404 section.

    404 detection looks at a user who is hitting a large number of non-existent pages, that is they are getting a large number of 404 errors. […] This also gives the added benefit of helping you find hidden problems causing 404 errors on unseen parts of your site as all errors will be logged in the “View Logs” page.

    For the 404s that appear to be on my pages, I have looked closely at the coding and do not see any broken links encoded there. Here is an example of one of the many 404s logged by the plugin today:

URI: /wordpress/member.php?mod=logging&action=login
referrer: http://thenameofmysite.net/wordpress/

    How do I locate these “hidden problems” so I can stop at least some of the 404s?

    E Morris, WP 3.7.1, Win7, Firefox 25

    (My wordpress is actually at etherwork[dot]net/blog – I prefer not to link to it in these forums in an attempt to prevent spam)
