SleekView for 404 to 301: 404 logs and auto-redirects as tables
404 to 301 logs every unmatched URL and applies one auto-redirect default. SleekView turns the log into a queryable grid so SEO leads can promote 404s into per-URL rules without leaving the page.

Promote every 404 into a real redirect from one log view
404 to 301 writes its log to a custom table (commonly wp_redirect_404_logs or the plugin's own wp_404_to_301 depending on version), with rows for every unmatched request: the requested URL, referrer, user agent, IP, hit count, and last-seen timestamp. The plugin's settings control a single global redirect target and email notifications.
The default admin shows the log in a paginated list with basic delete and clear actions. There is no per-URL override (the plugin redirects everything to one configured target), and the log itself does not surface alongside the global setting. Editors who want to set per-URL redirects need a separate redirects plugin.
SleekView reads the plugin's log table directly and exposes each entry as a sortable, filterable row. Promote any logged 404 into a per-URL redirect by writing to a paired redirects table (the free Redirection plugin, Yoast Premium, or AIOSEO if installed) without leaving the grid.

Features
What SleekView gives you for 404 to 301
Sort by traffic, not order added
Promote a flat 404 log into a real triage workflow. Sort by hit count or last seen, filter by referrer source, and find the 404s that actually affect ranking pages first.
Promote 404s to per-URL redirects
Pair with Redirection, Yoast Premium, or AIOSEO and promote any logged 404 to a per-URL redirect inline. The 404 disappears from the log on the next request to the path.
Bulk clear bot noise
Filter the log to entries matching known bot patterns (wp-login probes, /xmlrpc.php, scanner paths) and bulk delete in one action. The log stays focused on 404s that need human attention.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for 404 to 301
SEO leads
Triage the 404 log by traffic and referrer. Promote high-hit paths to real redirects, ignore bot scans, and clear the log of stale entries every week.
Content editors
Spot 404s on slugs they own and ship redirects before traffic drops. Filter the log to their section and promote relevant entries without waiting on SEO.
Site admins
Distinguish bot scans from legitimate broken-link traffic. Build a saved filter for known scanner patterns and bulk-clear them so the log shows only the 404s that matter.
The bigger picture
Why a 404 log only matters when it becomes a queue
404 to 301 captures something most sites ignore: the long tail of broken URLs that real visitors and crawlers hit every day. The problem is that capturing 404s only matters if the data turns into a queue. The plugin's default admin shows a flat log, paginated by order added, with no sort by hit count and no way to distinguish a real referral 404 from a bot scanning wp-login.
So the log fills up, nobody triages it, and the value of capturing 404s evaporates. SleekView turns the log into a real workflow. Sort by hits, filter by referrer, bulk delete bot noise, promote real 404s to per-URL redirects inline.
The plugin still catches 404s and applies the global redirect. SleekView makes the captured data legible so a weekly triage actually happens, which is the only outcome that justifies running a 404 logger at all.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for 404 to 301
No. 404 to 301 still catches 404s and applies the global redirect target. SleekView reads the log the plugin writes and adds sort, filter, and inline-promote actions on top, so the same data becomes usable as a triage workflow.
 Not natively. The plugin applies one global redirect target to every 404. SleekView's inline promote action writes to a paired redirects plugin (Redirection, Yoast Premium, AIOSEO) so per-URL rules become possible without manual copy-paste.
 Bot scans tend to hit predictable paths (wp-login probes, /xmlrpc.php, scanner directories) with no referrer. SleekView lets you build saved filters for those patterns and bulk-delete in one action so the log only shows 404s with referral or organic traffic.
 
Yes. Delete actions write to the 404 log table directly. Promote actions write to whichever redirects plugin you have configured (Redirection's wp_redirection_items, Yoast's options, or AIOSEO's wp_aioseo_redirects).
Yes. Any view exports to CSV with the filtered rows and visible columns. Useful for handing a developer a list of broken legacy paths to redirect at the server level, or for reconciling against Search Console crawl error reports.
 No. The 404 log table is indexed on URL and hit count, so SleekView queries paginate without scanning the full log. Sites with a million log entries stay responsive because the grid only fetches the visible page.
 Yes via WP-Cron. SleekView's bulk actions can be triggered by a saved filter (entries older than 90 days, entries with under 5 hits) and run on schedule. The log stays small and the entries that remain are the ones worth triaging.
 Yes. Saved layouts can be restricted by role. Editors see only entries matching their section, while site admins see the entire log including bot-scan filters and the global redirect setting.
