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 still apply.
- The Safe Redirect Manager plugin 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 is designed for managing a large number of redirects (greater than 300) for inactive legacy URLs that now return a
404HTTP response status code.
