 * 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

   it in these forums in an attempt to prevent spam)
