Features include: * Automatic 404 path tracking with optional referrer capture. * Manual redirect creation from the WordPress admin. * CSV import and export for migrating redirects from other tools. * Bulk ignore, delete, and create-redirect actions in the admin table. * 301, 302, 307, and 308 redirect status codes. * Optional regex source rules. * Post and page destination search. * Suggested destinations based on similar post and page slugs. * Dashboard stats for tracked 404s, configured redirects, hits, regex rules, and ignored records. * Optional email notifications when a new broken link is discovered. * Optional auto-expire cleanup for stale untouched 404 records. * Ignore and delete controls for unwanted 404 records. Flux Redirect does not call external services and does not collect personal profiles or IP addresses. ## Screenshots [⌊Redirect manager with 404 tracking, smart suggestions, and manual redirect creation.⌉⌊ Redirect manager with 404 tracking, smart suggestions, and manual redirect creation .⌉[ Redirect manager with 404 tracking, smart suggestions, and manual redirect creation. [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the `flux-redirect` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install it from the WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress. 3. Go to Flux Redirect in the WordPress admin menu. 4. Add redirects manually, import a CSV, or let the plugin collect 404 requests automatically. ## FAQ ### Where do I manage redirects? After activating the plugin, open **Flux Redirect** in the WordPress admin menu. Only users with the `manage_options` capability (typically Administrators) can view or change redirects. ### Can I redirect to another domain? Yes. Administrators can save full HTTP or HTTPS destination URLs. The plugin uses WordPress safe redirect handling and only permits the saved destination host for the active redirect. ### Which redirect status code should I use? Use **301** for permanent moves (most SEO cases). Use **302** for temporary moves.** 307** and **308** keep the original request method and are useful when you need stricter temporary or permanent behavior. If you are unsure, 301 is the usual choice for renamed or removed content that has a lasting replacement. ### Does Flux Redirect support regex rules? Yes. Enable the Regex source option when adding or editing a redirect. Invalid regular expressions are rejected before saving or redirecting. Use regex only when you need one rule to cover many similar paths. ### Can I import redirects from another plugin? Yes. Export a CSV with `broken_url`, `redirect_url`, `status_code`, and `is_regex` columns. Common aliases such as `source` and `target` are accepted on import. This is useful when migrating from tools like Redirection, Yoast, or a server redirect export that can be mapped into those columns. ### How do I export my current redirects? On the Flux Redirect admin screen, use **Export Redirects CSV**. The download includes configured redirects only (rows that already have a destination URL). ### What is the difference between Ignore and Delete? **Ignore** hides a 404 record from the main list so it does not clutter your queue.** Delete** removes the record completely. If the same broken path is requested again after a delete, Flux Redirect can rediscover it as a new 404. ### Can I fix many 404s at once? Yes. Select the rows you want, choose a bulk action, and click **Apply**. You can bulk-ignore, bulk-delete, or bulk-create redirects to one shared destination URL and status code. ### Why is the Referrer column empty? Browsers and privacy tools do not always send a referrer. Flux Redirect only stores a referrer when the HTTP Referer header is present. An empty value is normal for direct visits, bookmarks, some apps, and privacy-restricted browsers. ### What do the destination suggestions mean? When Flux Redirect finds a published post or page slug similar to the broken path, it offers that URL as a suggested destination. Suggestions are optional helpers. Always review them before saving. ### How do email notifications work? Enable notifications in Settings and add one or more recipient addresses. Flux Redirect emails those recipients the first time a new broken path is discovered. Repeat hits on the same path do not send another email. ### How does auto-expire work? When enabled, a daily cleanup ignores or deletes open 404 records that have not been hit for the configured number of days. Configured redirects are never removed by auto-expire. This helps keep the table manageable on busy sites. ### Does it track every visitor? No. Flux Redirect stores the requested 404 path, a hit count, and the HTTP referrer URL when the browser provides one. It does not store IP addresses, user agents, or personal profiles. ### Will this slow down my site? Flux Redirect is designed to stay lightweight. It only evaluates redirect rules and records 404s on front-end requests. Active rules are cached briefly to reduce database lookups. ### Can I use Flux Redirect with another redirect plugin? You can, but overlapping redirect rules can cause confusing results. For the cleanest setup, keep one plugin as the primary redirect manager, or make sure the same source path is not handled in two places. ### Do I need to edit .htaccess or server config? No. Redirects are handled inside WordPress. That makes the plugin portable across hosts, though very high-traffic sites sometimes still prefer server-level redirects for maximum performance. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Flux Redirect” is open source software.
