also will this work on older 404's or just ones that happen after the plugin has been installed.

I really like your plugin, works well.I have a big site and have a lot of 404 errors from deleted posts and tags around 40k.This plugin is what I am looking for.I am not developer but I have a few questions about the plugin and hope you will help.

1. does this plugin modify the .htcaccess file? for all urls that have been 301'd? I am worried that with the amount of 404's i have it would create a large file and slow my site.

2. On the settings page i notice it logs all the URL's , where is this information stored? could it slow my site if their are a lot of them?

3. would you ever consider making a change to plugin to have a option not to list the old URL's? so user could decided not to list them if they want.

This plugin does not deal with domain names. It's strickly a page forwarder. Check out this page, Moving WordPress, which will have what you need.

Big help.

Juligen on "Challenging URL problem!"

Juligen — Thu, 23 May 2013 12:51:14 +0000

Hello out there!

I want all my URLs to display http://www.mydomain.com/post-name/

I have just moved the content of an entire custom made site to Wordpress.

1. Problem:
When redirecting URLs from my old site to my new WordPress based site it works as long as I don't redirect the category page containing all those sub pages.

Example: old URL /topicone.php?sid=00174 redirected to http://www.mydomain.com/topicone/ works fine.

However, redirecting the old page /topicone.php to http://www.mydomain.com/topicone/ makes all sub pages (/topicone/post-name1 etc.) redirect to http://www.domain.com/topicone/.

2. Also, I want my URLs to look like this: http://www.domain.com/post-name/ but at the moment that page redirects to http://www.domain.com/topicone/post-name/

I'm using the Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin at the moment. There is at least 500 old URLs to redirect to the new Wordpress site. The domain name remains the same.

Kind of a challenging problem, or maybe there is a simple solution? Please help if you can!

Thank you!

Try asking Google.

saladgoat — Thu, 23 May 2013 07:31:20 +0000

I didn't install that - it must have come with a plugin. And ... it's on Google's site, not mine. How do I update it?

Hmmm ... I just checked and that line is in the header.php file, so it must have come with the theme?

Still, how would I go about updating it?

Lately, across a few of my websites, I have been getting some bizarre behaviour. Loading a page will instead display the html code in text format. It begins with

0<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
</head><body>

It then proceeds to tell me that where it has moved to is the exact address that is showing in the address bar. If I click in the address bar and hit Enter, it will load the page properly. What?
In most cases, the originating link was pointing to the wrong address and was previously corrected and re-directed by the magic of WordPress. Now it's not correcting and re-directing, it's just showing this jumble of text.
I thought I had fixed it the other day by doing a search & replace and fixing all the incorrect links. But now I notice that even some correct links are showing that.

Here's an example you can follow:
Go to http://www.canadianclassicrock.com/artist-roster/ and click on Holly Woods & Toronto (bottom right).
This will show the proper page.
Go to http://www.canadianclassicrock.com/on-tour/ and click on Holly Woods & Toronto, at the top of the list.
This is supposed to go to the same page as above, but instead it shows the html of the 301 error page.
If you right-click the link (on the On Tour page) and Copy Link Location and paste it into the address bar, it works.

(This happens in Firefox and Chrome, but Internet Explorer shows the page properly, without the html display.)

So ... what's wrong? How do I fix it?
Thanks!

Zabius,
The plugin could work for what you are trying to do, but I don't think it is a good solution as you would have to manually enter every old post and the new url into the plugin - and that is a big waste of time. The plugin does not have a way to use regular expressions in the request check, so that is out of the question.

As for htaccess, I am not an expert, but if you want to redirect the entire news item requests, you could add this to your htaccess file before the wordpress added items:
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

In your example, you show a number on the end of the request URL and not on the end of the redirected URL, I am only assuming this is the post id. If it is and it is not on the new blog urls, you may need to use something like this instead - as it will strip the post id off the end:
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)(-[0-9]+)$ /blog/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

Good luck.
Don

P.S I apologise I pressed submit too quickly.. and didn't realise I only put 'Redirect' in the title (I can't seem to change this either) :(

I have two Wordpress blogs on the same domain, (one called 'News' and another called 'Blog')

I am moving across all the content from the 'News' blog to the 'Blog' blog but I need to setup the 301 redirects correctly to not damage anything from an SEO perspective.

The old news link as as follows:
http://www.site.com/news/this-is-my-post-name-3413
The new link for the same post now it has been moved will appear like this
http://www.site.com/blog/this-is-the-post-name
Can anyone explain how I would correctly setup the htaccess 301 redirects to tell Google to redirect all the old "news" content to the new "blog"

Can anyone explain how to use this plugin using some form of regular expression to do this?

timdcva — Mon, 20 May 2013 18:04:36 +0000

I tried this too:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} decorativeconcreteofva.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} decorativeconcreteofcentralvirginia.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} decorativeconcreteva.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} decorativeconcretevirginia.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} http://www.decorativeconcreteofva.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} http://www.decorativeconcreteofcentralvirginia.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} http://www.decorativeconcreteva.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} http://www.decorativeconcreteofcentralva.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} decorativeconcreteofcentralva.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]

And its giving a 301 properly... but when I add this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I get an error in a web browser that says there are too many redirects.

When I remove those last 2 lines, something in wordpress is redirecting everything to http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com with a 302 redirect.

Im so confused. It seems like the wordpress install is redirecting it somehow... I just dont know where to go to change it to a 301.

timdcva — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:12:01 +0000

Also- when I change the above code to this;
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com [NC]
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It changes all the re-directs to 301, but it also stops any multi-site subdomains from working properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I upgraded an existing WP install to a multisite recently, and I noticed that it changed the way I was redirecting some URLs

I have this code in my htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^decorativeconcreteofva.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^decorativeconcreteofcentralvirginia.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^decorativeconcreteva.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^decorativeconcretevirginia.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.decorativeconcreteofva.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.decorativeconcreteofcentralvirginia.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.decorativeconcreteva.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.decorativeconcretevirginia.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.decorativeconcreteofcentralva.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^decorativeconcreteofcentralva.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/$1 [R=301]

but for some reason, it still redirects everything as a 302.

This was working fine before I upgraded to multi-site.

Any suggestions?

Tim

alex.paris on "[Plugin: Redirection] FEATURE REQ. : Scheduling"

alex.paris — Thu, 16 May 2013 19:38:38 +0000

Hey guys, I love this plugin. I was wondering if we could put the ability to schedule changes in the redirects.

For example i have a live show that I put on at a scheduled time and would like to change the redirect for source: /live to go from a landing page to our video page at a specified date+time.

I can think of other use cases but this is the one that most applies to me right now.

WordPress version:latest

I did this: Under other variables not to clean I added: ?movies for sorting

I expected the plugin to do this: not to clean ?movies

Instead it did this: Ignored the variable and 301 back to page.

meraj.khattak on "Old Slugs Removal"

meraj.khattak — Mon, 13 May 2013 12:22:00 +0000

Solved. I noted that an .htaccess outside my root folder of WordPress was causing this issue.

What is strange is that the directory in which .htaccess was causing was not even in my DocumentRoot. The structure was as the following:

/home/mrk/www/ - This was my DocumentRoot in Apache and WP root as well.
/home/mrk/.htaccess - This was causing issue. I don't know how that was possible when it was not even defined as DocumentRoot for Apache? Probably as parent directory of DocumentRoot?

Anyway, thanks for all your kind help.

Thanks Frizax. I have removed old URLs. But it is still accessible via old URLs and it redirects it to new one.

I have confirmed and don't have any rules defined in .htaccess for this.

frizax on "Old Slugs Removal"

frizax — Mon, 13 May 2013 07:11:33 +0000

In wordpress when you change slug of a page or post, it keeps old slug in database. And there is a function which auto redirect old slug to the new one.

If you don't want redirection on old slug you have to remove it from the database. These can be removed by using following mysql query (link):

DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_wp_old_slug';

meraj.khattak on "Old Slugs Removal"

meraj.khattak — Mon, 13 May 2013 06:54:33 +0000

I have deleted the all the old slugs. New slugs are in place. But still it is redirecting to the these old URLS.

Is there any other place where it could be checked for redirection?

Krishna on "Old Slugs Removal"

Krishna — Fri, 10 May 2013 08:48:57 +0000

You need to delete the old slugs and create new ones. When you rename, the old slogs remain and new ones are created.

meraj.khattak on "Old Slugs Removal"

meraj.khattak — Fri, 10 May 2013 05:37:17 +0000

Hello,

I renamed slugs of my pages and it is redirecting to old slug.

old url: /my-old-page-name/
new url: /my-new-page-name/

So now my page was accessible at both URLs. Now if I don't want this old URL, I will remove it from 'wp_postmeta' where meta_key = '_wp_old_slug'.

I have done this but I am still able to access my old url. How could I completely remove this?

Thanks.

HD80 on "Advanced Permalinks plugin issue with Pages"

HD80 — Thu, 09 May 2013 03:39:31 +0000

I deactivated the plugin, empty all cache and everything seems to be normal now. Why did it gave me so much 404 errors at the beginning after I changed my permalink?
Thanks for the advice, I guess I'll delete that and keep my current permalink from now on to avoid any troubles.

You don't need advanced permalinks, just create using the instructions at

http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

and your structure is valid

/%year%/%monthnum%/%post_id%/

the plugin you've installed seems outdated might not be compatible with your current WP version. Maybe uninstalling it will solve the problem.

Hi, I installed Advanced Permalinks to change my permalink from %postname% to /%year%/%monthnum%/%post_id%/ because my postname slug is getting too long. the redirection went well for categories by adding // infront of $this->add_filter ('category_rewrite_rules');

Now I found my pages wasn't directed properly. Can anyone help me?
