 * Hello,
 * I have 2 questions regarding your plugin.
 * I get a lot of bot entries in the 404er section like:
    Mozilla/5.0 (compatible;
   bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm) Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; DotBot/
   1.2; +https://opensiteexplorer.org/dotbot; [help@moz.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-bots-from-404er/help@moz.com?output_format=md)
 * Is there any possibility to **exclude all bots from beeing listet** in the 404
   log? I like to heave a “clean” 404er with sites visited by users.
 * And the bot entries have sometimes “Source URLs” like:
 * /mauritius/popupImg
    /mauritius/thumbImg /mauritius/auto
 * I don´t know about these URLs in my blog? Is there any reason for that?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexclude-bots-from-404er%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I answered this by email. Please can you keep requests to one place to avoid 
   duplicating work.
