#  WordPress plugins for handling redirects

WordPress plugins can be used for redirects on the VIP Platform. No matter what 
plugin is used, the [limitations that prevent redirects and custom rewrite rules for static assets](https://docs.wpvip.com/redirects/limitations-for-files/)
still apply.

 * [The Safe Redirect Manager plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-redirect-manager/)
   is useful for managing a small number of redirects (up to 1,000 by default with
   options for customization). Safe Redirect Manager also allows the use of wildcard
   or regex in redirects.
 * [The WPCOM Legacy Redirector plugin](https://github.com/Automattic/WPCOM-Legacy-Redirector)
   is designed for managing a large number of redirects (greater than 300) for inactive
   legacy URLs that now return a `404` HTTP response status code.
