    Hi,

    Great plugin and thank you for it’s use!

    I’m getting a bot calling non-existant pages?

    As an example :

    site.com/tag/british-humour-films/page/3/

    This does not exist?

    So I want such to redirect to :

    site.com/tag/british-humour-films/

    But first, check and detect such as being non-existant pages and when not found, then redirect.

    site.com/tag/british-humour-films/

    Please add this to the development list as this would be a massive benefit!

    Many Thanks

    Hey,

    This functionality exists already. On the Settings page under Options it’s the very first setting: “Redirect all unhandled 404s to:”. Just type the name of the page you want it to redirect to and then choose the page. In your case maybe type “british” and the page will appear.

    regards

    Hi,

    Thanks for the swift response, appreciated

    So you’re saying that non-existent URLs such as :

    site.com/tag/british-humour-films/page/3/

    Will it check and detect if it does not exist and then redirect it to :

    site.com/tag/british-humour-films/

    Is that correct?

    Many Thanks

    Yes. That’s one of the purposes of the plugin.

    Hi,

    Forgive me, but I can’t see how it is able to redirect from :

    Example ….

    site.com/tag/british-humour-films/page/3/

    to :

    site.com/tag/british-humour-films/

    Maybe I’m missing something?

    Did you set the setting on the Options page? You can take a screeshot and include it here if you like. If you set the settings then it should just work.

    Hi,

    Thanks for that 🙂

    I tried redirection Plugin but you have to manually have to do this which is pain for hundreds of bad urls.

    As I said,

    Here is a typical example of a non-existant page :

    site.com/tag/british-humour-films/page/3/

    Redirect to :

    site.com/tag/british-humour-films/

    So your saying your plugin catches these and will redirect as shown above?

    May Thanks/
