404 redirects no longer working

  • Bought the categories plugin, in the hope that it would solve a groups 404 redirect issue.
    I was the person who originally suggested the 404 redirects !

    It doesn’t work on my site now.
    I have disables and deleted everything and started again, not fixed, though it did delete all posts with a groups restriction. I had a backup.

    Tried downgrading the PHP version, I am using 7, still no luck
    Made sure that the category was restricted and that the posts which were restricted in the category and sub categories had the same restrictions.
    Tried redirecting to a different page, still not resolved.

    I am not using the legacy version of groups, I updated all my posts to the new version.
    I did try going back to legacy version, but still not resolved.

    What do you suggest I try ?

    This is really a 404 issue as it didn’t work even without the categories restriction plugin installed enabled. However there is no advantage to me having the categories restricted.
    As I say I bought it to try and solve a 404 redirects issue.

    An update on this !!
    The plugin does work as described, i.e. if you enter a url that is restricted by groups, then it will redirect to the page you specify in the 404 redirect plugin.

    The confusion for me is that; say you search for a restricted page, the search results will show a 404, content not found.

    Would be great if this plugin could be tweaked so that if a restricted page is searched for by someone who doesn’t have permission to access it, then the search results still show the link to the page, but on clicking the link the browser is redirected to the 404 redirect page.
    A bit long winded, but hope this makes sense.

    Perhaps a pro version with this capability ?

    Thanks
