## Description

To help conserve resources (and because bots don’t care), WP Engine has a custom
404 page for bots. This plugin removes that customization, which allows themes and
plugins to serve their own 404 instead.

## Installation

Simple installation:

 1. Upload the `remove-wpengine-404` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress

Advanced installation (`mu-plugins` directory):

 1. Upload _just_ the `remove-wpengine-404.php` file to your `/wp-content/mu-plugins/`
    directory
 2. That’s it… the plugin is already activated! Take a look under Plugins > Must Use
