Nothing is sent to Freemius unless you choose to send it. On activation you are shown Freemius’s standard opt-in screen. Until you answer it a fresh install makes no outbound request at all, and if you choose Skip the free tier stays fully usable and still sends nothing. Data is transmitted only when you take one of these actions: * **You click “Allow & Continue” on the Freemius opt-in screen.** This sends your site address, your administrator email address, and your WordPress, PHP and active plugin/theme details, so Harvify can provide support and know which environments to test against. Skipping that screen sends nothing and leaves the plugin working normally. * **You enter a Pro Bundle licence key.** This sends the key together with your site address so the licence can be activated for that site. While a licence is active the site also re-checks periodically that it is still valid and whether a Pro update is available.

In your dashboard go to Plugins Add New, search for “Harvify Redirect Manager”, then install and activate it (or upload the ZIP under Plugins Add New Upload). 2. Open **Harvify Redirect Manager**. The first time, you are asked whether to share usage data with Freemius; choose **Skip** to use every free feature without sending anything. #### Adding a redirect 1. On the **Redirects** tab click **Add new**. 2. Enter the **Source URL** (the old address, for example `/old-page`) and the **Target URL** (where visitors should go: a path such as `/new-page`, or a full address). 3. Choose the **Redirect type** (301 for a permanent move, 302 or 307 for a temporary one, 410 when the page is gone for good) and the **Match** type: _Exact_ for one address, _Wildcard_ for a pattern such as `/blog/*`, or _Regex_. 4. Optionally add **Groups** (comma-separated) and **Notes**, then click **Create**. Use **Test** on a rule to check where it sends visitors and **Edit** to change it. Click the **Yes**/**No** in a rule’s **Enabled** column to switch that rule off or on; **Enable all** and **Disable all** switch every rule at once. #### Other tabs and tools * **404 Monitor** — every address that returned “not found”, with a hit count. ** Create redirect** turns one into a rule. * **Import from Redirection** and **Import CSV** — bring existing rules in. A CSV needs one rule per line: `source, target, type` (a header row is fine). * **Export CSV** — download all your rules. * **Insights** — your busiest redirects and most frequent 404s at a glance. ## FAQ ### Can I import from the Redirection plugin? Yes. Click **Import from Redirection** on the Redirects tab. Ordinary and regex redirects are copied with their status code and whether they were enabled. Redirection’s conditional rules (login state, referrer, role and similar) and actions that are not redirects, such as error pages, are not imported; the import tells you how many it skipped and why. Addresses that already have a rule are left alone, so running it twice adds nothing. ### Do redirects slow my site down? Rules are checked only on the front end, and only when a page is requested. The 404 monitor records a miss after WordPress has already decided the page is not found. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Harvify Redirect Manager” is open source software.

Until now only “Enable all” and “Disable all” existed, so a rule could be deleted but not paused. * Readme: step-by-step setup and usage instructions, and an accurate description of what the Redirection import brings across. #### 1.0.27 * **Fixed: “Import from Redirection” now imports your Redirection rules.** It expected a format Redirection does not use, so ordinary URL redirects were skipped as having no target. It now keeps each rule’s status code, its regex setting, and whether it was enabled or disabled in Redirection. * The import tells you what it did not bring across, and why: conditional rules ( login state, referrer, role and similar), which would change meaning without their conditions; actions that are not redirects, such as error pages; and addresses that already have a rule here. Running it twice adds nothing. * **Fixed: regex rules now put what they captured into the target.** A target such as `/new/$1` used to send visitors to a literal “/new/$1”. #### 1.0.26 * **Fixed: rules created in the editor, imported from Redirection or made by the Pro slug-change redirect were saved DISABLED, so they never redirected, and editing any rule disabled it. None of those paths sends an on/off value, and a missing value was read as “off”. A new rule is now enabled unless you turn it off, and editing a rule keeps its on/off state. Rules already saved as disabled stay as they are: switch them on from the list. * **Fixed: editing a rule no longer wipes fields the editor did not show.** A save from a free or lapsed screen cleared the rule’s schedule dates and its groups. Only the fields a save actually sends are changed now. * **Tagging a rule with a group is back in the free editor,** with the Group column and tags in the list, as the free feature list has said since 1.0.24. * **Fixed: clicking a group tag in the list now filters the list to that group.** The tags have been links since 1.0.23, but a click only jumped to the top of the page. A “Show all groups” button now clears the filter in every tier. * Changed: scheduled redirects are supplied by the separately distributed Pro plugin. This download no longer contains the date check, so on a free site a rule’s stored schedule is kept but not applied, and the rule redirects whenever it is enabled. * Fixed: the Plan tab listed unlimited rules, 410/451 and group tagging as Pro, although all three have been free since 1.0.24, and did not list conditional redirects. The upgrade cards no longer imply a rule limit. * Changed: the External services section now describes the Freemius opt-in screen shown on activation. Until you answer it a fresh install makes no outbound request, and choosing Skip keeps the free tier fully usable and sends nothing. * Internal: a loop variable in the main file is now prefixed. #### 1.0.25 * **The free tier is no longer capped.** The 500-rule limit is gone from rule creation and from CSV import. There is no upgrade prompt standing between you and a redirect any more. * **410 Gone and 451 are now free.** They used to be forced down to a 301 unless a licence was active, even though the code that serves them shipped in every download. * Changed: conditional redirects and the group browser / bulk group assignment are supplied by the separately distributed Pro plugin rather than being present- but-inactive in this download. Rules you already tagged with a group keep their tag, stay filterable, and are never rewritten. * **Changed: every identifier this plugin owns has been renamed** off its old three-character `hrm_` prefix, which is shorter than WordPress.org accepts. Functions, options, cron hooks and the plugin’s own actions and filters are now `harvify_redirect_*`; global constants are `HARVIFY_REDIRECT_*`; classes are `Harvify_Redirect_*`. * **Developers: the REST namespace is now `harvify-redirect/v1`. The old hrm/v1 namespace is GONE and there is no compatibility alias — any code calling it will 404 until updated. Also renamed: the admin script and style handle `hrm- admin` is now `harvify-redirect-admin`, and the localized JavaScript object ` hrmSettings` is now `harvifyRedirectSettings`. * Your data is carried across for you on the first page load after updating: the schema marker, your uninstall-data preference, the scheduled 404-alert check and the slug-backup post meta all move to the new names. Your redirect rules and 404 log are untouched — those tables never changed. #### 1.0.23 * Added: a single **Support** entry in the Harvify menu, so you can reach us from inside WordPress. Until now no plugin offered a contact route at all. One entry for the whole suite rather than one per plugin. * No behaviour changes. #### 1.0.22 * Added: an **External services** section to this readme, naming every third-party service the plugin can contact, exactly what is sent, when, and each provider’s terms and privacy policy. Required for WordPress.org submission. * Changed: the `Contributors` field now names the correct WordPress.org account. * Added: the `License URI` header, which the readme was missing. * No behaviour changes. #### 1.0.21 * Rebuild: the published 1.0.20 package predated the blank-source validation and was generated from an earlier tree. This release carries it: a redirect rule saved with no source URL is refused, so it can no longer match — and capture — the front page. #### 1.0.20 * Added: a single **Manage licence** link on the Plan screen, so an active customer can deactivate this site, change their licence key or re-check their licence without needing a URL from support. No per-plugin Account tab is added. #### 1.0.19 * Fixed: opting in to “delete all data on uninstall” now removes hrm_db_version. It was written at runtime but never included in the cleanup, so a user who asked for their data to be deleted kept it. #### 1.0.18 * **Fixed: updating the plugin did not update its database.** WordPress only runs a plugin’s setup routine when you _activate_ it, never when it updates — so a change to the plugin’s own tables never reached sites that had simply updated. On those sites some features failed with a database error. The update now applies itself on the next page load. * **Fixed: a malformed API request returned a PHP error** instead of a normal “ bad request” response. * **One upgrade link instead of one per plugin.** With several Harvify plugins active the menu showed a row called “Upgrade” for each of them, all identically labelled, and it kept saying Upgrade to people who had already bought. They are replaced by a single **Plan** screen that says what the bundle costs, what it covers, and whether your licence is active. * **The dashboard is quiet again.** Each plugin used to add its own “opt in to make this better” notice to the main WordPress dashboard, so five plugins meant five notices. Harvify plugins now share one queue: promotional notices appear only on Harvify’s own screens, and only one at a time. Licence and account messages are never held back. * **Fixed: the “Data & uninstall” box covered the page.** It was being drawn into the admin footer, which WordPress pins to the bottom of the screen, so it floated on top of whatever was underneath it. It now sits in the page like any other card. Saving it also tells you what it saved, instead of just reloading. * **Fixed: the upgrade screen advertised the wrong number of sites.** Several plugins listed the Freelancer and Agency plans as covering 5 and 25 sites. They cover 3 and 10. #### 1.0.17 * **Uninstall no longer destroys your data by default.** Deleting the plugin used to remove everything it had stored, with no way to stop it — so deleting it to troubleshoot destroyed the lot. Now the default is to KEEP your data, and a new **Data & uninstall** control on the plugin’s own screen lets you opt in to a full wipe if you actually want one. Scheduled jobs are always tidied up either way, and the wipe works with no internet connection. #### 1.0.16 * **Deleting the plugin left its two database tables behind, on every site, since 1.0.0.** The main plugin file used a variable named `$file` while loading its includes. WordPress runs include_once on that file from INSIDE its own `uninstall_plugin()` function, so the assignment overwrote WordPress’s `$file` — core then fired its uninstall action under a nonsense name, the cleanup callback was never reached, and `wp_harvify_redirects`, wp_harvify_404_log and the daily-alert cron survived deletion forever. The loader variable is now prefixed. Cleanup is verified by a committed gate that deletes the plugin with the network cut and then checks the tables are gone. * **The published free ZIP failed Plugin Check even though the source passed.** Freemius’s code preprocessor rewrites the main plugin file and drops block comments that sit inside an expression, which deleted a `translators:` comment and produced a MissingTranslatorsComment ERROR — a rejected submission — in the artifact nobody had ever checked. The comment now sits above a statement, where the rewrite preserves it. #### 1.0.15 * **Fixed a WordPress.org submission blocker.** Plugin Check flagged the HTTP status passed to wp_die() on the 410/451 terminal-response path as unescaped output— an ERROR, which means a rejected submission. It is now passed through absint(), which is the honest cast for an HTTP status as well as the one the check accepts. No behaviour change. * Tested up to WordPress 7.1. #### 1.0.14 * **Redirect groups and tags are now a real feature.** The Groups field was saved and then read by nothing — there was no way to filter by it, no column showing it, nothing in the export and no bulk action. You can now tag a rule with one or more groups, filter the list to a group (click a tag to jump straight to it), sort and see the Group column, assign or clear a group across a selection in bulk, and the CSV export carries it. Searching also matches group names. #### 1.0.13 * **Fixed: choosing the 451 redirect type broke the URL.** 451 answers a request rather than redirecting it, and WordPress refuses any non-redirect status in a redirect — so instead of a 451 the visitor got a WordPress error page. 451 now returns a proper 451 with an explanatory page, and (per RFC 7725) a `Link:...; rel="blocked-by"` header pointing at the rule’s target. The dispatcher now asks“ is this a redirect?” rather than “is this 410?”, so no future status can repeat this. * Fixed: 410 and 451 are Pro types, and the CSV importer enforced that while the add/edit form did not. Both roads now go through the same check. * **Fixed: redirects to another site sent visitors to your admin screen instead.** A rule pointing at an external URL was being rewritten to /wp-admin/, because the redirect used WordPress’s “safe” variant, which refuses any host but your own. Pointing at another site is a core reason to use a redirect plugin, so the destination you configured is now honoured — and only that one: no other host is allowed, so this is not an open redirect. * The Pro feature list mentions 451 again, now that it works. #### 1.0.12 * Marketing accuracy: the Pro feature list no longer advertises “451 redirect types” or “Redirect groups and tags”. Selecting 451 does not currently return a 451( WordPress refuses any non-3xx status in wp_redirect), and the Groups field is stored but nothing filters, lists or exports by it yet. Both remain on the roadmap; the copy will return with the features. #### 1.0.11 * Your licence is now manageable from the plugin itself. The Account screen was previously hidden, which also hid **Deactivate License** — so a licence could not be released from one site to move it to another without contacting support. It is visible again, along with the licence key, plan, Sync and Change License. * **Harvify Tools** now opens with a **Your licences** table: every installed Harvify plugin, the plan it is on, whether Pro features are actually running, and a link to its Account screen. Freemius gives each product its own separate Account page, so this is the one place that answers “what am I on” across the whole bundle. * The repeated _“Opt in to make … better!”_ admin notice no longer appears. Licence, plan and update notices are unaffected — only the opt-in prompt is suppressed. #### 1.0.10 * Change: License activation now uses per-plugin key entry — enter your bundle license key on each Pro plugin to unlock Pro. Improves activation reliability. #### 1.0.9 * New: CSV import. Import redirects from any spreadsheet as source,target,type ( header row optional; type defaults to 301). Rows are validated, duplicates — against your existing rules and within the file — are skipped, and the free-tier rule limit is respected. #### 1.0.8 * New (Pro): conditional redirects. A rule can optionally require login state ( logged in / logged out), any of a set of user roles, a referrer substring, or a user-agent substring — all set conditions must match. Rules without conditions behave exactly as before, and existing rules are untouched. Conditional rules are marked in the rules table. #### 1.0.7 * Free tier now allows up to 500 redirect rules (was 50) so you can migrate a full Redirection install without hitting the cap. Pro remains unlimited. #### 1.0.6 * New admin design system (Harvify Admin Kit): branded header, first-run onboarding, section navigation (Redirects, 404 Monitor, Insights), skeleton loader, coaching empty states, an at-a-glance Insights panel (redirect rules, redirect hits, 404 URLs & hits, most-used redirects, top 404s to fix), and a contextual, dismissible upgrade card. UI layer only — redirect handling, the 404 monitor and free/Pro gating are unchanged. #### 1.0.5 * Fix: Pro features now unlock only on the premium build with a valid license ( per-plugin gate). Previously a shared bundle flag could make the free build report Pro when another Harvify plugin was licensed. #### 1.0.4 * Internal: uninstall cleanup now runs on Freemius’s after_uninstall hook (removed uninstall.php) for Freemius Deployment compatibility. What gets removed on uninstall is unchanged. #### 1.0.3 * The free 404 monitor now logs every hit (previously sampled 1-in-5). Full 404 logging is no longer a Pro-only differentiator. #### 1.0.2 * Fixed redirects table failing to create on MySQL 8 (the `groups` column is a reserved word; renamed to `redirect_group`). * Admin menu now registers on init (fixes a “translation loaded too early” notice under WordPress 6.7+). #### 1.0.1 * Pro features (scheduled redirects, chain detection, slug-change auto-redirect, 404 alerts) now load only in the premium build (Freemius is__premium_only model). * Pricing now sourced from the shared bundle-license package; upgrade prompts link to the pricing page. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **1.0.28** * Last updated **2 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.2** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [301](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/301/)[404](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/404/) [links](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/links/)[redirect](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/redirect/) [seo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/seo/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/harvify-redirect-manager/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
