About this plugin
MissionaryConnect Gospel 404 gives churches and ministries a Gospel-focused 404 page. When a visitor reaches a missing page, they see a clean full-screen overlay. From there they can return home or open a step-by-step King James Bible Gospel journey.
Features:
- Full-screen 404 overlay that keeps a true HTTP 404 status and adds noindex,follow.
- Step-by-step KJV Gospel journey with keyboard, reduced-motion, and no-JavaScript support.
- An automatically created public “Know For Sure” page that uses the [mcg404_gospel] shortcode, so you can link the same journey from your navigation.
- An optional response form so visitors can ask for prayer, ask questions, or request contact.
- Email notifications through the WordPress mail pipeline ( wp_mail() ), which respects SMTP plugins, plus a test email tool and mail diagnostics.
- Saved responses with follow-up status, CSV export, and retention controls.
- Branding options: your church logo or no logo, plus a background color, image, or muted looping video.
- Optional, off-by-default MissionaryConnect credit and an optional Bible resources section with your own wording and link.
- Integration with the WordPress personal-data export and erasure tools, and suggested privacy policy text.
- A small Plugin Stats card on the settings screen that shows this plugin’s public install and download counts from WordPress.org.

The request asks only for this plugin’s public listing data and sends no data about your site, your visitors, or your users. It uses a generic user agent that names only this plugin and its version, not your site address.

If response storage is turned on, responses that visitors submit are stored in a dedicated table in your WordPress database. Stored data can include name, email address, phone number, response choice, message, submission time, and page URL. IP addresses are stored only if you turn that option on (it is off by default).
Responses are emailed to the recipients you configure (or the site admin email).
Links on your public site
The plugin adds no credits or external links to your public site unless you choose to. Both credits are off by default and are turned on in the Ministry credits box on the Branding tab:
- “Show your love — activate ministry credits” shows the MissionaryConnect credit and logo on your 404 page.
- “Check here to activate the Fundamental Baptist Books credit” shows a Bible resources section in the Gospel journey, using the heading, wording, button text, and link you enter on the Journey tab. It stays hidden until you enter a link. The plugin ships with no prefilled resource link.
