404 monitor

    Hello,
    I’m trying to log 404 pages but I still have empty log in Rank Math plugin. I have custom theme with basic WP structure. So 404.php with simple data including wp_head and so on.

    I tried even is_404() condition and that’s correct, if it’s 404 page it returns true.

    Do you have any ideas where could be a problem?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Please navigate to WP Dashboard > Plugins > Plugin Editor and select Rank Math SEO and go to /seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/404-monitor/class-monitor.php

    One Line 46, change this:
    $this->action( $this->get_hook(), 'capture_404' );

    To this:
    $this->action('template_redirect', 'capture_404' );

    Let us know if that helps.

    We look forward to helping you.

    Hi Anas,
    yeah it’s working but I can’t consider it as a solution because every time I update the plugin I lose this change.

    Do you have an ideas?

    Hello,

    Currently, our 404 Monitor only logs a URL as 404 if it actually returns a 404 status.

    Ideally, we would like to support every single theme and the way they handle the 404 pages but our dev team had to make a decision to support themes that actually report a 404 status code instead of showing a custom page.

    For now, we’ll recommend making the changes to the plugin file to fix this. However, our devs are working on a better way to implement this solution.

    Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience with this matter.

    Hi Anas,
    ok I’ve got it. It just weird for me because if you look for WP hierarchy for example here https://wphierarchy.com/ you can see that 404.php is a part of WordPress basic hierarchy system. So I would expect you to register this page (which is not some custom page but 404.php template) to the log.

    But I understand that this doesn’t work now and I’ll have to wait for the new versions.

    So thanks for info.
