 * The 404 error is rightly caught by this plug-in. The file being called truly 
   does not exist.
    Is there anyway you guys can record where is the file being 
   called from?

 * Hello Edisonantus,
 * Thank you for showing interest and using our plugin.
 * The plugin does not have the functionality to advise you from which page the 
   404 request was generated. The reason being is that we designed this feature 
   as a security feature, i.e. so as an administrator you can know when someone 
   is messing about with your website or scanning it. It was not designed as a “
   webmaster tool” to find broken links on websites.
 * I think there are much better plugins specifically designed as webmaster tools
   to help you find broken links on the website.
 * While I trust the above answers your question, please do not hesitate to get 
   in touch in case of any further queries.
