404 Notifier

404 Notifier

If you’ve decided to move things around on your site, you might overlook a few redirects and end up with some broken URLs. This will help you catch those so you can take care of them.

Does this work with ugly (?p=123) permalinks?

No, this only works if you use pretty permalinks (/2006/01/01/post-name or similar). From what I can tell, the WordPress code doesn’t flag URLs as 404s with ugly permalinks.

Anything else?

That about does it – enjoy!
