Changelog ​

Full release history for 404 to 301. The plugin's bundled readme.txt keeps only the latest couple of releases; the complete history lives here.

4.0.3 ​

Added ​

  • Rich per-column filtering on the Logs and Redirects tables, built on @wordpress/dataviews v16. Text columns support is, isNot, isAny, isNone, contains, notContains and startsWith; numeric columns add lessThan, greaterThan, lessThanOrEqual, greaterThanOrEqual and between.
  • Filterable log fields: URL, referrer, IP, hits and status. Filterable redirect fields: source, target URL, redirect type, match type, active state and hits.
  • IP filtering works against the packed VARBINARY column — values are packed with inet_pton() at the mapper, so only the equality and membership operators are offered.

Improved ​

  • Table columns are center-aligned except long-text and primary columns, which stay left-aligned for readability.
  • Licensed add-on badges are green, Premium badges purple.
  • bin/pack.sh prunes development files from the staged vendor tree before building the release zip.

Fixed ​

  • Center-aligned table columns are no longer clipped by the truncation styles.

Developer ​

  • Breaking (REST): the status, date_from and date_to query params on GET /404-to-301/v1/logs, and match_type / redirect_type on GET /404-to-301/v1/redirects, have been removed. All filtering now goes through a single filters param taking the DataViews v16 shape: [ { field, operator, value }, … ].
  • New Filter_Mapper class validates each filter against a per-field operator allowlist and translates it into BerlinDB query args. The allowlists are passed in by the caller, so the same mapper drives both endpoints.
  • Upgraded @wordpress/dataviews to 16.0.1 and @wordpress/scripts to 32.4.1.

4.0.2 ​

Improved ​

  • Add-ons catalogue now pulls each free add-on's icon and banner from the WordPress.org asset CDN and links to its WordPress.org plugin page.
  • Clearer Redirects Importer description in the add-ons catalogue.

Fixed ​

  • Migration banner no longer shows on fresh installs running on SQLite (such as WordPress Playground), where legacy-table detection returned a false positive.
  • Restored the spacing below the migration banner so it no longer touches the logs summary cards.

4.0.1 ​

Added ​

  • Summary card strip above the Logs and Redirects tables for an at-a-glance overview (total / open / ignored / fixed / has custom redirect; total / active / inactive / total hits).
  • Purge all logs action in Settings → Tools → Danger Zone with a confirmation modal. Custom redirects are not touched.
  • Custom redirect modal on the Logs page now also lets you edit an already-linked redirect — no need to bounce to the Redirects page.
  • One-time 4.0.0 → 4.0.1 data migration converts legacy Custom redirect log rows to the new status model (active link → Fixed, inactive or missing link → Open).

Improved ​

  • Redesigned log View details modal with a cleaner table layout and the 404 path shown prominently.
  • Log status is decoupled from custom redirect linkage. The redirect link is now shown as a small badge next to the status icon, so the workflow status (Open / Ignored / Fixed) stays meaningful.
  • Linking a custom redirect now sets the log to Fixed only when the redirect is active. Toggling a redirect's active state syncs every linked log automatically.
  • Deleting a custom redirect now unlinks any logs that referenced it (the rows reopen so the broken URL surfaces again).
  • When editing a redirect that is linked to a 404 log, the Source URL field is locked to keep the link intact. A small info notice explains why.

Fixed ​

  • Stale per-row cache on log rows after bulk status syncs.

4.0.0 ​

Added ​

  • Custom redirect manager with exact, prefix and regex matching and per-redirect redirect type.
  • Active/inactive toggle, hit counter and last-hit timestamp on every redirect.
  • Dedicated, indexed database tables for 404 logs and custom redirects.
  • Modern React-powered admin with full-featured Logs and Redirects tables (search, filters, bulk actions, pagination).
  • Per-log lifecycle status (open / ignored / fixed) and date filters.
  • Email notifications with a configurable hit threshold.
  • REST API at /404-to-301/v1/.
  • WP-CLI command set — wp 404-to-301 logs|redirects|settings.
  • Add-ons catalogue for free and premium extensions.

Improved ​
