    we are using Rankmath SEO plugin and managing redirect and 404 erro logs there. But we are getting huge (around 200 per day) random 404 hits https://ibb.co/t8k1TGY and to avoid this we added some of the strings to exlusion list https://ibb.co/HT0CDJs. But we need those to be redirected to relevent URLs or similar strings so that it give a good signal to search bots like google.
    Will you able to help me to add all those exclusion with similar or relevent strings if I share your wp-admin access?
    I am non techie hence I requesting this. Please dont mind.

    Hello @vismithams ,
    There are several ways to handle 404s with Redirection plugin, the most simple one being to set the Redirection Rule:
    Redirect all URLs which: Are 404s …to A Specific URL (or Random Similar Post).
    However if you want to create some redirection rules that will redirect to different URLs depending on the source URL, then here are some rules you can set, for example:
    1. If you notice that a lot of 404s contain “img-png-2” in the link, you can target those specifically by creating a Redirection Rule:
    Redirect all URLs which: Contain [img-png-2]…to A Specific URL.
    2. You can also create redirection rule that targets a specific User-Agent. That is arranged in the Advanced Options, section “Inclusion & exclusion rules”, option “User’s agent”.

    Kind regards
