Wordpress: redirect all 404's from one directory to index page of that directory

[young_coder]

Hello guys,

 

There are some Wordpress plugins for permanent redirection of all 404's to the main blog URL (plugin '404 Redirection') or all 404's to one specified page (plugin '404-to-start').

 

Also, it can be done by adding following code to the theme's 404.php page.

 

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: ".get_bloginfo('url'));
exit();
?>

 

I need to redirect all 404's from one directory to index page of that directory. Does anybody know how this can be done?

 

Thank you!
