Is there a way to check where this plugin has been used on our site. Basically we would like to pull a list of any pages that have a redirect created by this plugin so we can review them. I have access to the database along with the wordpress site so you we can use an SQL Query or just info on how to export the data.
Thanks!
]]>I currently use this plugin to redirect empty posts to external pages (think tradeshow even registration).
I’ve encountered problems with crawlers following these links and crawling external sites as if they were our own site.
Also wondering if that would affect my site’s SEO
]]>The last response to a support ticket was “3 years, 11 months ago”……even though, according to WordPress, the plugin was last updated a year ago.
So what does this all mean? Apparently the author ignored support requests even when they were still actively updating the plugin. And now, they’ve abandoned it
How very disturbing.
]]>Could I use your plugin to redirect a logged in user from this page to the forums?
]]>Hi there,
Is still plugin still being developed/supported?? Anyway, I think it’s great, so I hope it is! ??
I was wondering if you’d consider making it possible to disable redirects only for logged-in users or users of a certain profile?
I think that would make this great plugin even greater!
Many thanks – I hope you’ll consider it!
]]>I can see the plugin functionality is available in the sidebar when I edit a media file (image), or a media Attachment Page. However the redirect doesn’t save on either of those options. I’m not sure if this is a bug in the Redirect plugin, or if I shouldn’t expect it to work for Attachment Pages or Images. Why would one need this feature you ask? Well, let’s say you have embedded a gallery of 4 images that you want to serve as a sort of graphical menu. The options for linking on the thumbnail images in the gallery are 1)None 2)Media File 3)Attachment Page. By editing either the media image or image attachment page, one could simply put a redirect on those to a different page or url, in essence making the thumbnails link to the pages you desire. I’ve seen plugins that auto-redirect attachment pages back to the post, but that has a different goal.
]]>Hi
does this plugin support subdomain redirects?
for example, can i redirect mydomain.com/product/my-product-name/ to shop.mydomain.com/product/my-product-name/?
Also, does it support redirection from https to http?
Thanks!
]]>It doesn’t even show up for me. I have a clean WordPress installation running the default theme.
]]>Hello.
I user your nice little plugin to achieve following functionality:
On the main menu i have some items (depending on logged in user role visible or not as an access restriction) with some child menu items under each parent.
When setting one parent page to “custom redirect” with url “#” it is working as desired: the parent menu entry does not have any content. It is just a menu item keeping some child underneath but without any own funcitonality or content.
But it is still a link (shown by the pointing finger mouse cursor) and when clicking it, the url in the browser shows “…wordpress/#) but with the last child page visible on the screen.
This is not nice.
My idea now is:
add an option “Menu-Entry Only” which toggles the desired page into a menu entry without content, without link or anything else.
I know i could do this by adding a custom link directly into the menu but these links cannot be set to unvisible depending on the access role a logged in user has.
Understood what i mean?
]]>Hello,
I’m ‘trying to hide the Simple Redirect meta box on my page and custom post but just for the User below administrator. I’m already doing this with the page attribute widget from the page with this code:
function remove_different_meta_box()
{
if( is_admin() ) {
if( !current_user_can('administrator') ) {
remove_meta_box('pageparentdiv', 'page', 'normal');
}
}
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_different_meta_box' );Any suggestion?
Thank’s in advance!
]]>Hello, I am delaying the redirection after 5 seconds, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance
I’m not 100% sure if this issue is related to your plugin, but this is the closest one that deals with redirects and changing urls. Are there any issues where images file names are getting top level urls?
Example:
If I have an image uploaded with the file name ‘image1’ I can then go to https://www.mydomain.com/image1 and it gives me the attachment page. It doesn’t redirect to the attachment page, that page is displayed as an attachment page.
I also mention your plugin, because I now see that it says it’s not compatible with WP 4.1.1.
]]>Is there any way to do that with this plugin?
]]>If you are having issues with this plugin, try this version:
https://github.com/khromov/wp-simple-redirect
It didn’t work correctly for me at first, but after a few small fixes it now works like it should.
]]>Hello
a bit confused, if i use a custom URL the page will redirect but not if i select the page from the list
]]>It works with https://www.example.com/asked_url -> https://www.example.com/new_url, but not with example.com/asked_url if you have set in the wordpress configuration https://www.example.com like your domain name.
I saw that the problem is in the row 215:
$userrequest = str_ireplace(get_option('home'),'',$this->get_address());
if you have
get_otion('home') = "www.example.com"
you never will match
example.com/asked_url.
I resolved changing in this way:
$u = parse_url($this->get_address());
$host = 'https://'.$u['host'];
$userrequest = str_ireplace($host,'',$this->get_address());I have used this to set up redirects by selecting pages from a list. It shows that pages will redirect, but they don’t. I have tested this with a clear browser cache.
It simply doesn’t work.
]]>Hi,
This is a great plugin and works like charm!
But I’d like to know how to redirect a link to a new tab/window.
Thanks in advance,

After installation of this plugin the site stopped
to work and open. After removal it started working again.
Hi,
I’ve been using simple redirect for page redirects in a site and would like to use it for custom post types as well. Redirect meta box doesn’t display in the custom post type post editor though. I went through your code and it seems like it should support custom post types as well as built-in post types, but it doesn’t seem to work with custom post types.
I’m testing all kinds of options to realise why this doesn’t work.
So far I suspect
$this->postTypes = get_post_types();
may return only built-in post types for some reason, could be because of lack of a specific entry in the post type itself, or
function add_meta_boxes()
in simple redirect may have some bug in it.
I would appreciate it if you could please check this out.
Kind regards,
Tailor
I tried Simply Redirect plugin, but I get a blank page. I just used the inteface in the new page on the right redirecting to an existing post. I does not work. I did not change anyting in the plugin after installation. What is going on?
