When you get a 404 this will check the requested path at a site you define and redirect there if found rather than showing the 404.php template from your theme.

Installation

Download the latest release and upload it to your site, then activate the plugin. Then follow the on-screen prompt to set the URL of the site to check against. The prompt takes you to the Settings > 404 Site Checker screen in the Dashboard, which has a field for you to enter the URL of the site to check against.

If you are using this on a WordPress Multisite Network install where all sites should share one check site, you may prefer setting the check site in your wp-config.php file using the following code:

define('TG_404_CHECK_SITE', 'https://example.com');

The plugin will always use what is defined in wp-config.php if it is found. So if you have a check site set both ways, the one set from the 404 Site Checker screen will be ignored.
