404 Fallback

instead of displaying a 404, redirect to another site preserving the relative path.

Note: This repo is now archived as I'm no longer interested in developing this in a personal capacity. Contact me if you want commercial support.

301 redirect option

Do you want to redirect from the old to the new site (new site on a new domain), then a 301 redirect might be more useful
if you're redirecting from the new to the old (new site replaces old, old migrated away), then a 302 might be more appropriate.

Validate fallback is a url

must contain a protocol and site name.
double check what happens with slashes.

Option to explicitly redirect the homepage

With WordPress if you want the homepage to be not found, you have to

1. change the "Your homepage displays" setting in Settings > Reading to "a static post". Otherwise WP will search the template hierarchy and attempt to display any existing post.
2. unpublish the static post, to return a 404.

The interface displays this state incorrectly, where a page is set, but it appears as if no page is set:

It would be nicer to have a third radio button to override this behaviour and return the homepage as a 404, regardless of the setting.
Also show this on the plguni settings page.
