    A lot of entries are now in the log file and I want them to delete all.
    I want to delete the entire log file in one session.

    Thanks.

    Simplest way, deactivate and delete then the table gets delete along with options. Reinstall and manually redo any options.

    Alternatively you can go to the database and truncate the redirect 404 log table. Truncate table Yourprefix_redirect_404_hp_cp_log;

    Thank you for the quick reaction.
    Removing the plugin doesn’t work. I removed the table by using WP Optimize after I deactivated the plugin.

    OK thanks for letting me know, the code is there to delete it – perhaps there is a buglet – I will test.

    OK I have fixed the uninstall, there was a minor issue.

    However for other reading, I should have thought about this, if the log file is growing too big, just use the setting for numbers of days – which defaults to 60- but you could change it to say 3 days, or even zero days – and in 24 hours your log file would shrink accordingly.

    Thank you.
    I’ve updatd the plugin to the newer version.
    Yes, I saw that setting for the number of days …
