Linkstraight Redirect Fixer replaces them in bulk with the final URL, safely. **Workflow (Tools > Fix Redirects)** 1. **Import** the “Response Codes > Redirection (3xx)” CSV export of your SEO crawler( such as Screaming Frog SEO Spider, English or French headers, comma or semicolon separated). 2. **Select**: redirect chains are resolved to the final URL. Risky cases are unchecked by default with the reason shown (302 to the home page, WooCommerce empty cart,/ embed/ and pagination URLs, protocol-only changes, redirect loops). 3. **Dry run**: number of replacements per URL and list of affected contents with edit links. Nothing is changed. 4. **Validate**: confirm you reviewed the dry run and have a backup, then apply. 5. **Afterwards**: caches are flushed, you can search for remaining URLs across the site tables, and restore the original values in one click. **Link formats handled** * Absolute links, http or https, with or without www. * JSON-escaped links (page builders such as Elementor). * Links inside block attributes, including ACF blocks (`\u0022` encoded quotes). * Relative links (`href="/path/"`), including menu custom links and ACF URL or link fields storing a bare `/path/`. They stay relative when the target is on the same site. * JSON-escaped relative links (`"\/path\/"`). **Data processed** Post content and excerpts, custom fields (ACF included), options (widgets, ACF options pages, theme mods), menus, term descriptions and meta, user meta. Serialized data is unserialized, updated and serialized again; values containing PHP objects are never instantiated and are reported instead. **Never modified** Redirection plugin tables, revisions, transients, Yoast SEO Premium redirects, the siteurl and home options. **Built for large sites** Processing runs through AJAX in short slices (15 seconds by default) and resumes automatically after a timeout. Original values are stored in a dedicated database table, never in public files. Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a trademark of Screaming Frog Ltd. Linkstraight Redirect Fixer is not affiliated with or endorsed by Screaming Frog; it only reads the CSV export format. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, or copy the `linkstraight- redirect-fixer` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to Tools > Fix Redirects. On a multisite network, the tool is available to super admins only, because it reads and writes tables shared by the network (users and user meta). ## FAQ ### Does it create redirects? No. It fixes the links that point to existing redirects. Keep your redirects in place for external backlinks. ### Is a backup required? The plugin keeps the original value of every modified row and can restore them, but a full database backup before applying is strongly recommended. ### The crawler still finds some URLs after the replacement Clear external caches (CDN, hosting cache) and crawl again. Then use “Search for remaining URLs”: if a URL is not in the database, the link is hard-coded in a theme file or served from a cache. ### Can I change the slice duration or the chunk size? Yes, with the `linkstraight_slice_seconds` (default 15) and `linkstraight_chunk_size`( default 3000 rows) filters. The `linkstraight_purge_caches` action lets you purge additional caches after a replacement. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Linkstraight Redirect Fixer” is open source software.
