RB Links Redirection<\/strong> sends old and broken addresses to the right page. Add a redirect in seconds, see which links lead nowhere in the 404 log, and never lose a visitor when you rename a page.<\/p>\n\n

Redirects<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308<\/strong> redirects, and 410 Gone<\/strong> for pages removed on purpose<\/li>\n
  • Four kinds of rules:<\/strong> the exact address, addresses that start with<\/strong> or contain<\/strong> a text, and regular expressions<\/strong> with $1<\/code>, $2<\/code> in the target<\/li>\n
  • Redirect to a post:<\/strong> pick a post or page as the target, and the redirect follows it even when its address changes<\/li>\n
  • Letter case and a trailing slash do not matter: \/Old-Page\/<\/code> and \/old-page<\/code> are the same address<\/li>\n
  • The query string goes along<\/strong> (\/old?utm_source=mail<\/code> \u2192 \/new?utm_source=mail<\/code>), so campaign tracking survives<\/li>\n
  • Hit counter<\/strong> and the time of the last hit for every redirect<\/li>\n
  • Test an address<\/strong> before you save: see exactly where a visitor would go<\/li>\n
  • Enable, disable and delete redirects one by one or in bulk; search and filter the list<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Automatic redirects<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    • A post's address changes<\/strong> \u2014 a new slug, a new parent page, a different permalink date \u2014 and the old address keeps working with a 301 to the post<\/li>\n
    • Subpages move with their page:<\/strong> one rule covers the whole branch<\/li>\n
    • Changing the address back never makes a loop: the old redirect is removed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      404 log<\/h4>\n\n
        \n
      • Every address that ends in \"not found\", once, with hits, last visit and where visitors came from<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • One click turns a dead link into a redirect;<\/strong> fixed addresses are marked<\/li>\n
      • Browser noise (favicon, touch icons) is left out; old entries are forgotten after a number of days you choose<\/li>\n
      • Optionally send every other 404 to the home page<\/strong> or an address of your choice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Import and export<\/h4>\n\n
          \n
        • CSV<\/strong> in both directions: source, target, code, match_type, enabled, note<\/code><\/li>\n
        • Importing the same file twice adds nothing twice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          For developers<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • rb_redirection_add( '\/old', '\/new', 301, array( 'origin' => 'my-plugin' ) )<\/code> and rb_redirection_find( '\/old' )<\/code><\/li>\n
          • Actions rb_redirection_added<\/code>, rb_redirection_before_redirect<\/code>; filters rb_redirection_capability<\/code>, rb_redirection_ignore_404<\/code><\/li>\n
          • REST API under rb_redirection\/v1<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            Fast: exact addresses are found by an index in a single query, pattern rules are cached. Works on Multisite \u2014 every site has its own redirects.<\/p>\n\n

            Works with Duplicate Post RB<\/strong>: when its cleanup removes duplicate posts, their addresses can redirect to the post that stays.<\/p>\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Install from Plugins \u2192 Add New, or upload the rb-links-redirection<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
            2. Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
            3. Open RB Plugins \u2192 Links Redirection<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n

              301 or 302?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              301 when a page moved for good: search engines move its ranking to the new address. 302 or 307 for a short time, like a seasonal sale page.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              What is 410?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              \"Gone\": the page was removed on purpose and will not come back. Search engines drop it faster than a 404.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Can I redirect a whole section?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes: a \"Starts with\" rule for \/old-blog\/<\/code>, or a regular expression ^\/old-blog\/(.*)$<\/code> with the target \/blog\/$1<\/code> to keep the rest of the address.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Will redirects slow my site down?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              No. An exact address is found by a database index in one query, and the few pattern rules are cached.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Are the admin, the login page and the REST API safe?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes, they are never redirected, so a broad rule cannot lock you out.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              What happens when I delete the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Its tables, settings and schedule are removed, on every site of a network. Deactivating keeps everything.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
