[Plugin: WP Short URLs] Redirections gave 404 errors

  • WP Short URLs seems like a good upstart plugin. However in version 0.2 the redirections I created only led to the blog giving a 404 error. The blog is a near-vanilla 3.3.2 install, with permalink structure set to the predefined setting named “Post name” and with only the following plugins activated:

    • BulletProof Security
    • Short URL
    • Types – Complete Solution for Custom Fields and Types
    • WordPress HTTPS

    Could this be affected by the permalink setting? It’s currently set to the default option called “Post name”.

    Not sure what is bringing you this error, but I am not receiving it at all. I think it may have something to do with BulletProof Security due to the brief glance I gave the code for that plugin and how it seems to lock quite a few things down. There is the chance that could be stopping the redirect somehow. I would say disable that and the secure .htaccess file it generates, try it again, and then post back the results. What you described is not a “near vanilla” install. Before anything you should always try disabling other plugins to see where the conflict is. I tried the combination of Bulletproof and my plugin and had no problem, but it could be in your configuration, or it could even be another plugin you have conflicting with it. I’d love to help you with your issue, but without further information, I cannot.

    Also, I was just reading up on the faq of the WordPress HTTPS plugin and I see one of the questions:

    I’m getting 404 errors on all of my pages. Why?
    If you’re using a public/shared SSL, try disabling your custom permalink structure. Some public/shared SSL’s have issues with WordPress’ permalinks because of the way they are configured.

    This could be conflicting to where your custom short urls are being 404’d.

    Shouldn’t. But it is possible.
    But, like I said, check with the other plugins disabled and get back to me.
