Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Fast 404

This plugin ensures that the error message is not shown to end users who request URLs from the browser address bar. It is configured as "Not Found" by default.
define('FAST404_ERROR_MESSAGE', 'My new error message');
By default, js|css|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|webp|ico|exe|bin|dmg|woff|woff2 extensions are terminated early. You need to define a PHP constant in wp-config.php file to override this. The value of the constant MUST be a valid regular expression matched against the request URI. define('FAST404_REGEX', '/\.(?:js|css|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|webp|ico|exe|bin|dmg|woff|woff2)$/i')
You cannot. The whole point of this plugin is to save server resources when the request cannot be served. It takes the first opportunity to terminate the request, and it might be early in the page request-cycle that any of the logging functionality is even available yet.
