## Description

VTX Redirects provides a focused interface for managing exact-path redirects from
the WordPress administration area.

Features:

 * 301, 302, 307, and 308 redirects.
 * Internal and administrator-configured external destinations.
 * Exact-path matching with normalized trailing slashes.
 * Duplicate-source and redirect-loop protection.
 * Optional query-string preservation.
 * Bulk editor for migrations.
 * Content usage scanner for finding references to old URLs.
 * Administrative activity log.
 * Responsive and keyboard-accessible administration interface.
 * No third-party service, tracking, telemetry, or external dependency.

VTX Redirects stores its settings in normal WordPress options and uses WordPress
redirect, nonce, capability, URL validation, and database APIs.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `vtx-redirects` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install the plugin
    ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate VTX Redirects.
 3. Open Tools > VTX Redirects.
 4. Add a source path such as `/old-page` and a destination such as `/new-page`.

## FAQ

### Does it support external redirects?

Yes. Administrators can configure HTTP or HTTPS destinations. Only hosts present
in enabled redirect rules are added to WordPress’ safe redirect host list.

### Does it support regex or wildcard redirects?

No. Version 2.0 intentionally uses exact normalized path matching to keep behavior
predictable and safe.

### What happens to query strings?

By default, an incoming query string is preserved when the configured destination
does not already contain one. This can be disabled in the plugin settings.

### Does uninstalling the plugin delete my redirects?

No. Redirect data is intentionally preserved so an accidental uninstall does not
destroy migration data. Delete the plugin options manually if permanent removal 
is required.
