Support » Plugin: WP SEO Redirect 301 » Does this plugin in any way handle social media statistics?

  • Hi I have a website where I need to change categories to hundreds of posts which will break the links to the urls. I would like to use this plugin for that and I see great reviews.

    I was wondering if this plugin in any way deals with facebook, twitter, google (etc.) likes and comments? Or do I need to do that separately?

    I’ve been reading about it all and I see I need to for example, exempt the Facebook crawler from the redirects. Does this plugin include that step?
    I am aware that it looks like that I can (what it looks like), save the old url social media activity and build new ones, but not mix the two.. ?

    Is there any other specific things I’d need to look into in order to preserve as much important information as I can. I’ll keep reading about it all, just wanted to check in about the capacity of what this plugin actually does.

    I want to be very careful with this as I’ve never done something like this before.
    I’d appreciate anyone’s suggestions and comments.

    Unfortunately I’ve not been in a position of updated category names, so thats why my plugin doesn’t support that feature, sorry.

    This plugin works with Google. Any links from Facebook and Twitter with the old urls, will be redirected to the updated new urls. However I only built this plugin for pages and posts, not categories. I’m fairly certain it wouldn’t work for categories.

    In the case of Google, I send them http codes to let them know the difference between the old and new urls.

    great thanks!
    actually, I decided to keep the category in the permalink structure so luckily this won’t be an issue.
