The module will look at the requested url and tries to find an alternative page for it.
The alternatives are created by you. Just add words from the url to the table and select the correct page that should be shown.
To get it working:
- Create a hidden page with a "404 Page Redirect" section. (It's also useful to add a wysiwyg section too and put there the usual "sorry, not found, blah blah", since this page will be shown if no redirect was found.)
- Enter some parts of old URLs and choose the corresponding page
- Save your changes
- Via FTP: In the root of your WBCE installation (where the config.php is), create a .htaccess (if necessary; mind the dot as first character of the filename; .htaccess != htacess.txt) or, if there's already an existing one, add a 404 directive pointing to your 404 page. E.g. if your 404 page sits at yourdomain.com/pages/404, add the line
ErrorDocument 404 /pages/404.php
Attention: if you are using ShortURL, do not apply the changes to the .htaccess mentioned above, but edit the short.php as mentioned in the file, e.g. change the line
define('ERROR_PAGE', '/');
to
define('ERROR_PAGE', '/404/');
