Redirection Reporting

Description

Allows for more details reporting for the “Redirection” plugin by John Godley.
This plugin will not do anything for you without using the Redirection plugin
to handle your 301 redirections. This plugin was built to fix a gap in the
reporting which the Redirection plugin has.

FAQ

What does this plugin do?

This plugin simply reports on the redirection logs with day by day reporting. It will also archive off data from the redirection_log table to redirection_log_archive (if enabled) to help keep the table that the redirection plugin writes to small.

What date format should I be using?

You should be able to use any date format. The PHP is going to reformat it to the
way that MySQL wants to see it.

Where do I find the reports?

The “Redirection Reporting” link can be found under the tools menu, probably
right near the “Redirection” link.

What is the archive feature for?

When there are large amounts of data in the Redirection plugin’s log table the pages
which show the lists of available regex URLs can be slow to load as these come from
the log table. In order to make this load faster, on sites which have a very heavy
workload the data from the log table can be archived. This will not reduce the amount
of data which is reported on as reports are run against the archive table and the
normal table at the same time.

After upgrading to v3.0 the reports don’t work.

On some systems the additional database objects which are needed are not being created.
In order to fix this, deactivate the plugin and reactivate it, or simply go to the settings
page and click the “Save Settings” button. We’re working on making that a smoother upgrade.
