Redirection is a WordPress plugin to manage 301 redirections, keep track of 404 errors, and generally tidy up any loose ends your site may have. This is particularly useful if you are migrating pages from an old website, or are changing the directory of your WordPress installation.

Features include:

• Supports both WordPress-based and Apache-based redirections
• 404 error monitoring – captures a log of 404 errors and allows you to easily map these to 301 redirects
• RSS feed for 404 errors
• Custom ‘pass-through’ redirections allowing you to pass a URL through to another page, file, or website.
• Full logs for all redirected URLs
• Create redirections based upon a URL, browser, referring site, or login status
• Automatically add a 301 redirection when a post’s URL changes
• Full regular expression support
• Fully localized
• Export all redirections to CSV, XML, or Apache .htaccess files
• Import Apache .htacces files

Using Redirection

The main idea behind Redirection is that you create several URLs that you want to redirect. These URLs are placed within a group, which in turn is placed within a module. The module determines how the URLs are redirected, and the group allows you to logically organise the URLs.

Each URL (or redirection) can be configured to behave in different ways. When creating a redirection there are several pieces of information you must provide:

• Source URL – This is the original URL that you want to redirect somewhere else
• Match – This tells the plugin how you want to match the source URL
• Action – Determines what happens if the URL is matched
• Regular expression – Tells the plugin that the source URL is a regular expression (i.e. a pattern that may match many URLs)
• Target URL – most actions have a target URL. This is typically the URL that the user will be redirected to should the pattern match

Note that items can be re-ordered and this may influence which redirection takes effect.
