    Hi,

    Thank you for the great plugin. This plugin is very useful and easy to use. But it tracks and saves some unnecessary 404 logs for example combined CSS/JS used by another plugin like Autoptimize. So I would like to make a feature request for a redirection filter 404 logs. Where we can filter certain words (eg; plugin name) from saved into 404 logs.

    As for another matter, I noticed that there are only 6% of this plugin that has been translated into my local language. Therefore I would like to contribute as translator and editor for this plugin.

    No, no, no…
    That is a really bad idea. Thanks to this plugin and its extensive 404 logins, I have been able to trouble shoot many of my clients websites.

    Hi @lechon,

    Can you explain more why it is a bad idea? Because I think not everything is worth to track. And this filter will hide it from 404 logs.

    If you are getting 404s you should look at the source and the reason of the 404s not the reporting tool that is helping you find it. The only reason I use this plugin is because of its strong 404 reporting capabilities. Many 404 reported by the plugin are also helpful and seeing how some hackers are tying to find files or paths on the site that do not exist.

    I see. But still I would like a filter as a feature so I can filter out anything I 100% sure unnecessary.

    Hi John @johnny5,

    Thank you for your reply. I just checked the GitHub link and just realized that this plugin already has the feature I have requested. I’m sorry for my ignorance.

    Up to this day, I use this plugin in a very easy way. I just only realized that I could do more with this plugin. Thanks again.

    Shah
