Redirecting 404 errors to 410

  • I’m setting up a job site and periodically want to delete old posts with expired listings.

    Is there a way I can redirect 404 errors to 410 pages, without explicitly placing the url in .htaccess file?

    Hmm, I’m wondering if it might work to use a Post Expiration plugin to move the posts into a new category after a period of X days. Then set the sitemap to Noindex that category.

    It would require a bit more processing on the server side, but would that cause the old links to drop from the search engines when they’re next crawled?

    Yes that should work in my opinion, i wouldn’t know for certain in totally honesty though, but the idea sounds good…
