Deleting the Log

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the +ve feedback.

Yes. You are correct. It will delete the redirects too.

I have already added a warning alert message that clearly states this, before deleting the logs. It is not live yet. Will be pushing an update soon with this and few other improvements.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Joel.

I was getting frustrated because I had deleted the log after making perhaps 30 or mere redirects and then having to enter them again.

It would be really great to actually allow the user to enter a redirect before the first 404 error. I am replacing an older HTML site with perhaps 50 pages and I would like to be able to create a redirect for many of the old site’s pages before the the bots and visitors find a problem.

As I said. Your work here is fantastic. I am sure I’m not the only person to want to replace an HTML site with a WP site. I have a few more to do for our mom and pop business.

Next I need to replace https://www.sadlight.com, https://www.homephototherapy.com and https://www.catchasmoker.com which are older style sites that need to be replaced.

I am not a programmer but just an old fart (nearly 70) that’s been a computer hobbyist since 1977 when I bought my first PC. Created my first website in 1997 and my wife and I started our micro business in 1998 (www.amjo.net) and it’s great to be able to keep it going to keep my mind sharp.

I ramble sometimes. In this case I have rambled so that you know how important the work that huys like you do to help us old farts!

One more question. I see several errors where the requester is looking for an image gif, png, jpg. Should I be adding those and creating redirects to the image file?

Hi Chris,

I understand that. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I will create a new feature note to add a flag to custom redirected errors and provide an option to delete only the logs (not redirects). I will start working on it during my free time (I work for a private firm for living). Will update you once this feature is live.

Till then, please note this workflow and try not to delete the redirect enabled logs.

You can add wp-content to the exclude path option in our plugin settings page. It will skip those media file errors.

Hi @chriscane

I have a new version ready to be published. New version can keep the redirects before deleting it. Can you help me to test it? Please find the new version here.
