Nothing on this page is picked by hand. Every day we walk the whole WordPress.org directory, then score every plugin against Custom 404 Pro on three signals: sharing a category top 10 counts most, then appearing in the same WordPress.org rankings, then carrying the same tags, with rare tags counting for more than common ones like "wordpress". Plugins by the same author are excluded, so an author's own add-ons cannot fill the list, and so is anything rated below 4.0 or with fewer than 100 active installs. The ten highest scores are what you see, in that order. Full methodology.

404 Solution is the closest match to Custom 404 Pro by the data we track, and Redirection has the widest reach with 2 million+ active installs. 404 Solution shipped the most recent release, on August 31, 2026. The list is rebuilt every day from WordPress.org, so a plugin that stops being maintained drops out on its own.
