Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records genius 404 version 1.0 as active, updated 11y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.1.

Overview

About this plugin

Save your visitors from unhelpful 404 errors!

Instead of quickly giving up when a visitor reaches content that doesn’t exist, make an effort to guess what they were

after in the first place. This plugin will perform a search of your posts, pages, tags and categories, using keywords from the requested

URL. If there’s a match, redirect to that content instead of showing the error. If there’s more than one match, the

404 template can use some template tags to provide a list of suggestions to the visitor.

Template tags

genius404_has_suggestions

Returns true if there are some suggestions, false otherwise

genius404_get_suggestions

Retrieve an array of post objects for rendering manually.

genius404_suggestions

Draw a list of suggested posts.

Pass the parameter “list” to render suggestions as a list.

genius404_loop

Query posts for use in a Loop. Eg:

>

Note that the loop will not display pages correctly, as it is not built to support them. It is recommended that if you use

a loop like that above, do not enable searching of pages.

genius404_get_search_terms

Retrieve an array of search terms used to populate the suggestions list, for use with contextual highlighting, etc.
