I installed the plugin a few days ago and I am getting hundreds of errors reported each day. I would like to filter them, because many of the errors are triggered by bots. For example, recently a lot of requests are using the date/time as part of the url, even though I haven’t had that set in more than 10 years (no idea where the links came from, unless it’s old Google links still hanging around). An example log: 404 Path: /2009/04/that-didnt-take-long IP Address: 150.109.15.189 Time: 2026-03-16 07:29:39 Referral Page: https://www.thelaughline.com/2009/04/that-didnt-take-long The correct url is https://www.thelaughline.com/that-didnt-take-long and has been for 10+ years, so knowing this is a bot (from the IP address) I am not interested in having this error reported. So (finally) my question, can I use a wildcard in the exclude path, like “/20*” or even “/2009”? Any suggestions would be much appreciated and thanks for this useful plugin.
