Fix and Manage 404 Error Links with Joomla!

On the Error 404 Links page, you’ll find a full list of all error URLs (e.g., 400, 401, 403, 404, etc.) with all necessary details and a handy Fix-it button on each row.

Use the Search Tools bar to filter error links by their resolution status (fixed or unresolved), HTTP status codes, or within specific timeframes such as the last day, 7 days, a month, or the past three months.

Two useful options in the top-left toolbar allow you to delete either all error links or only those that have been resolved, helping you keep the error log clean.

Easily add new redirects by completing the following fields:

• Match type: Choose one of five methods:
  a) Full URL
  b) Contains a string
  c) Starts with a string
  d) Ends with a string
  e) Find and replace (supports PHP regular expressions)
• Source URL or text: Enter the relative URL or text to redirect. Use PHP regex for complex patterns, e.g., /(coding|programming)/ to match URLs containing “coding” or “programming”.
• When matched: Choose what happens when a match occurs:
  a) Redirect to a URL
  b) Redirect to a menu item
  c) Redirect to a custom error page with a specific HTTP code
  d) Do nothing (just log the hit)
• Target URL or text: Define the destination URL or select an existing menu item.
• Notes: Optionally add private backend-only memos for each redirect.

Receive immediate email alerts on new 404 errors, including detailed info such as the error URL, visitor’s country, IP address, browser, and operating system.

Each email contains a direct action button linking to the Joomla administrator panel, enabling swift fixes.

Automatically redirect all 404 errors to a single page – either a custom URL or a menu item.

This option respects individual redirects already set and does not override them.

Exclude IPs from specified continents or countries. For these IPs, redirects work as configured but no logs are stored and no email notifications are sent.
