Awesome tip. I put it in and it works awesomely.

I'm using Triple K2 and it works seamlessly.

Nice tip - I customized the 404 page to include archives and popular posts. What I wanted to do even further was to redirect people with a meta refresh. I recently changed my permalink structure and now people are looking for things that are not there.

So when users go to OldARTICLElink, I want to redirect them to NewARTICLElink.

My old permalink structure was category/post-title

Now it's date/category/post-title

Any idea on how to do this?

Your demonstration link (…/blog/python) does not work (anymore?). It shows a simple, standard Wordpress (or maybe K2) 404 page. But I like your idea and will try on my blog.

sorry, one last thing, which i think might be the problem, how can i get the script to drop the / at the end of a url – because it doesnt search if there is a / attached to the end. The reason i am trying to fix this is because i changed my permalink structure, so all of my pages listed on yahoo search engine for example , point to my 404 page with a url ending in /, so im trying to get the script to find the pages. thanks again
