Redirectioner Plugin

Redirectioner allows WordPress admins to have control over their dead links and redirects from inside the admin panel. Redirectioner records all URLs that users have visited and allows the admin to easily create 301 and 302 redirects to valid pages on their site. Redirects can also be created based on the best possible match for the URL the visitor was most likely trying to reach.

How long does it take for 404 URLs to start showing up?

As long as the “Capture incoming 404 URLs” option is enabled in the options section, the 404 URLs will show up in the captured list as soon as a visitor hits a 404 page.

Will there be a slow down on my site when running the plugin?

No, there should be no noticeable slow down when running the plugin on your site.

Will this plugin redirect my pages if I change my permalinks structure?

Yes! 404 Redirected records the page/post ID number and looks up the most current permalink before redirecting the user.

Can I redirect all 404’s to a particular page?
