If you don’t like the typical 404 page than you can redirect all 404 page not found errors permantly (or temporarily) to the start page or any other site/page you like.

This will help you solve problems with external bad links which are not under your influence.

Chose between 301 – Moved permanently (default) and 302 – Moved temporarily.

Remove plugin

  1. Deactivate plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  2. Delete plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

It’s best to use the build in delete function of wordpress. That way all the stored data will be removed and no orphaned data will stay.
