 * The only thing this 404 redirect plugin did was redirect my sitemap to the home
   page. Was not happy about this.

 * couponsncharities,
 * Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention. There are 2 potential causes
   that come to mind that might be impacting the functionality of my plugin:
 * 1. You have another plugin or function within your theme that handles URL rewriting,
   and it’s conflicting with my plugin. To test this, temporarily change the theme
   to a default, unaltered version of the standard twentyten theme that comes with
   every installation of WordPress. Also, temporarily disable all plugins except
   mine. Then try to create a 404. When the plugin redirects you, you’ll know there’s
   a conflict with a plugin or theme you just deactivated.
 * 2. You recently moved your installation of WordPress to a new directory or changed
   the site URL. Use this helpful guide to learn how to properly change the site
   URL: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL).
 * If after all of that, you’re still experiencing this issue, please let me know,
   and describe in detail (to include your blog URL) the issue you’re still experiencing,
   so that I’ll be able to research your issue further. Thanks!
 * – Don

 * I’m marking this topic as resolved due to the lack of any response for a full
   week from the complainant.
