Foxiz does not add any 301/302 redirects for 404 pages. The theme simply uses WordPress’s default 404 behavior and displays a custom 404 layout built from a page with the slug /404-not-found.
This means there is no actual redirect happening at the HTTP level. The original non-existing URL still returns a proper 404 status, and redirection plugins (such as Redirection, Rank Math, or Yoast) should be able to detect and handle individual 404 URLs normally.
If your redirection rules are not working as expected, we kindly suggest the following checks:
Please clear all caches (browser cache, plugin cache, and server/CDN cache if applicable) and test again.
Temporarily disable other plugins to check for conflicts, especially caching or optimization plugins.
We recommend testing with the Redirection plugin (by John Godley), as it is widely used and works well with the default WordPress 404 handling.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
The 404 pages on the foxiz theme automatically redirect to url: /404-not-found
I want to handle each 404 page and redirect to desired url using redirection plugin.
Please advise
