 * I’m using Redirection for 404s and I have been seeing a lot of strange 404 urls
   in the log.
 * They typically look like this:
    ​/updates​/wp-includes​/js​/thickbox​/loadingAnimation.
   gif
 * The first segment of the URL changes but they all are related to loadingAnimation.
   gif.
 * I have hundreds of these in the log per week.
 * Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi
    I have used a plugin for redirection and unfortunately now I seem to have
   a 404 error on my site and can’t get rid of it no matter what I do- I’ve tried
   various things- even deleting plugin and starting from scratch but it seems I
   have a permanent error and my web has a 404 error. I am a novice- I need help
   plse. my site is kamychetty.com Any help will be very much appreciated Thanks

 * I should also mention that all this started when I tried to use a redirection
   plugin and I think that’s what’s wrong- the page is now redirecting to a page
   that isn’t there- so I think I stuffed it up but now I can’t undo it. I tried
   reloading wordpress and deleting all plugins but unfortunately no luck- it’s 
   just not working- I even went to my server but I can’t seem to fix this redirection
   problem and it seems to continuously redirect to a non-existent page- so I need
   to know how to undo the redirection and will need step by step directions as 
   I don’t know how to do this
    Thanks K

 * Whenever I corrected a faulty rule in the Redirection plugin, it won’t take effect
   until I clear my Firefox cache. The updated rule does effective on the server
   immediately, it is just my Firefox remembers the old redirection rule and heads
   off to the old wrong destination right the way. Only after clearing the cache,
   Firefox sends the source URL to the server and the Redirection plugin has the
   chance to tell Firefox the new destination.
 * Hope it helps.
