I'm having trouble getting the Force-404 features working.  Either I'm not understanding the instructions, or I'm not configuring things correctly.

Is there anyone who can help me with this?

Many thanks.

If you're mentioning the web(dot)config file, you'll get rejected.  CloudFlare is really strict about that term, which is why you see me spell it with the written out (dot) instead of the period (.).

I created a small test site with this page structure:
 
   Home
        - X
       -  Y
            - Y1

I installed SEO Redirect and made the required change to web config.

I configured the 404 Error Page, and it does work.

I added the SEO Redirect module to the pages shown above, and to the 404-Error-Page.  For all of those pages I checked the Force 404 for each of the pages listed here.

visiting does not create a 404. Instead, it serves the x page as in normal in DNN.  That leads me to believe that the SEO Redirect module is not doing something.

Thanks,

Joe

We use this module for some websites. We usually, change web*** file, add the module onto the 404 page, use "site:www.***.com" in goolge and click each link we find, it goes to the 404 page and adds the URL to the 404 list. We then redirect the 404 URL to the new page.

Once this is done the URL should redirect to the correct page with a 301 and not hit the 404.

If we have only a couple of URLs to redirect we add them manually or use the IIS redirect or from a load balancer/proxy server.

However, I did try this a couple of weeks ago and did have some issue getting the 404 URL listed. Not sure if it was a bug, but I knew the required redirects so I manually added them.

Also, in the past I have noticed the list of 404 gets BIG, I reported this to Stefan and I'm not sure if he fixed it. I can't remember what I did to remove the list, maybe just truncate the table in the DB.

Ok, from what you write here, I don't understand what exactly you are tring to do.
There's no need to add te module to all pages, you only add it to the 404 page.
And replying to David, there's a setting in the module settings where you can limit the number and or age of logged 404s
