Description

Redirect & 404 Helper for Ecwid is a companion plugin for stores running the official Ecwid Shopping Cart plugin on WordPress. Because Ecwid products are JavaScript-rendered views on a single host page, generic redirect plugins cannot classify or redirect them. This plugin is Ecwid-aware.

This is an early scaffold. Features arrive per the implementation plan:

  • Ecwid-aware 404 logging and classification (product / category / WordPress page)
  • "Deleted vs. typo" detection against the live Ecwid catalog
  • False-404 collision warner for WordPress slugs that collide with Ecwid's -(p|c)123 URL pattern
  • Manual 301 redirects and CSV export of the 404 log

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/ecwid-redirect-404-helper, or install it from the Plugins screen.
  2. Activate it through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  3. Ensure the official Ecwid Shopping Cart plugin is installed and configured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work without the Ecwid plugin?

The Ecwid-aware features require the official Ecwid Shopping Cart plugin. Generic 404 logging works regardless.
