Image 301 redirection
-
Is it possible to 301 redirect changed image files? That way if media is renamed from its original filename it can be referenced by the old name.
We spend a lot of time optimizing past posts, media, and other parts of the site. Sometimes things are continually optimized even months after its been posted. Issue is that folks sharing the post on social media have the featured image defined and that doesn’t change inside the social media just because it the filename is changed. The preview posts on social media are static and don’t update automatically.
Im thinking 301 redirection from the original filename would help this and also help with any lost SEO as there would no longer be 404 errors from the original filename.
I havent found a plugin that does that even though there are many redirection plugins. Maybe this should be built into media file renamer as a pro option?
