Title: [Plugin: Permalink Finder Plugin] Getting an error Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Permalink Finder Plugin] Getting an error * [inspired888](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inspired888/) * (@inspired888) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-permalink-finder-plugin-getting-an-error/) * Hi there, Thanks for this great plugin. * I wanted to report to things… a feature suggestion, and what appears to be a bug. First the bug: Under some circumstances I get the error, `Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /home/jonathan/public_html/site/wp-content/ plugins/permalink-finder/permalink-finder.php on line 478` * I was getting this error in the back-end when I had `AskApache Google 404` plugin activated at the same time as `Permalink Finder`. I have since decided not to use AskApache because it created too many layout issues I didn’t want to spend time fixing. * But now that I have reactivated `Permalink Finder` I am getting the same error message _at times_ in the front-end. * For instance, it seems to happen when there is a number at the beginning of the URL (e.g. `mysite.com/site/485-some-words-here`). * Please advise how I can help you with resolving this. * FEATURE SUGGESTION I am wondering if there is a way to display a message above the post content when an article has been found via a Permalink Finder redirect? What I am thinking is this… when someone plugs in a bad URL and they end up on a page different from the one they were hoping for, I’d like them to know first WHY they are seeing a different page, and second HOW they can perhaps get to the page they wanted. * It would be nice to be able to display a message (customisable by the Admin) such as, * > “The link or address you used didn’t match any on this site. You have arrived > at this page through automatic redirection based on our best guess of what > you were looking for. > Not the page you were looking for? Here are some alternatives: > Or perhaps try doing a search: “ * Then they would see a Admin defined number of alternative links, and there would be a search box. I imagine this appearing above the post content of the page they are redirected to. Of course, it would be Admin optional as to whether or not this feature is activated. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalink-finder/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalink-finder/) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Plugin Author [Keith P.

[http://www.blogseye.com/pfbeta-test.php](http://www.blogseye.com/pfbeta-test.php) * You suggestion for a reason is a good one. I have thought about doing it, but it may involve some more intricate code. * Basically, there are three reasons for a redirect. 1) found the exact keywords in the title, 2) found the partial keywords in the title, or 3) found the metaphone matches in the title. * I wanted to add this to the logs. * Adding a reason for a redirect to the redirect would be a little harder, perhaps I could put it in the session and then have a block of code added to the post content when it is displayed (almost like a short code). * You can handle the 404 page by customizing your theme’s 404 page. I have thought about making a plugin to customize the 404 page content , but most themes already include a 404.php file. * [O. G.

My directory structure is mysite.com/2012-07/title- of-post/. For now, I have deactivated the plugin. I’d try the beta, but I think I’ll just wait the few days necessary for the update. * But for the few days it worked for me, it helped immensely! I had 275 404’s before. Now there are 0! * Plugin Author [Keith P.

I’ll let it escape tonight. * I’ve been using it for a week now, so I think there will not be any surprises this time. * Keith Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Permalink Finder Plugin] Getting an error’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/permalink-finder_81927c.svg) * [Link Fixer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-finder/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-finder/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-finder/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-finder/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-finder/reviews/) ## Tags * [feature suggestion](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/feature-suggestion/) * 3 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Keith P.
