Hi refdesign,

I’m not sure it’s possible to delete pages using the Redirection plugin. The plugin simply takes one location, then points it to another (e.g. /old-page.php -> /new-page/ ). There’s no deletion involved.

Could it be that you’re just pointing to the wrong place? First thing to check is where these “deleted” pages are. In theory, they should still be in your Admin/Pages section. If they are still there, then they’ve not disappeared – they’re probably just going to the wrong place… and if that’s the case, then check how you’ve set up the Redirections (spelling, lower and uppercase is essential!).

Hope that helps and you find your pages.

Cheers,

Zain

Hi James,

The information for the Redirection plugin is stored in the database. It should be okay to back WordPress and have all the redirects included.

I’d also recommend testing your backup, just to make sure it works.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Hi Mif/remcomeijer,

When using the Redirection plugin, it’s important to understand the implications of using regular expression notation. Using “/wp*” basically means find “wp” followed by anything – this includes “wp-admin”, “wp-login.php” etc. By the sounds of things your entire site will be trying to redirect because of this.

I’d recommend you FTP into your site and then just move the plugin folder to another location. You can find the plugin in:

/wp-content/plugins/redirection/

Taking this out from your plugins directory should enable you to log back into your site. Basically, WP won’t be able to find it and the scripts can’t run.

If you still experience an issue, then clear your browser cache and re-try.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Zain

Hi Marge,

Have you checked that you’re not missing this file? Try FTPing into the /wp-admin/ folder and see if the “admin-ajax.php” file exists.

If it doesn’t, then you may want to check your installation.

Cheers,

Zain

Hi margje,

The wordpress_redirection_404* table is a log of all the 404 errors that happen on your site, which the Redirection plugin has detected.

If you look at the “Tools/Redirection/404″(top link) page, you’ll see a list of problematic URLs and missing images etc. This list is useful for identifying pages/images that don’t go anywhere and are broken links (i.e. 404 Not Found). In terms of SEO, you should look to map old, out of date URLs, to point to new versions of posts/pages (if there is one).

To reduce the size of the table, you can use the top checkbox on the left of the “Tools/Redirection/404” page and then use the “Bulk Actions” (top left) to delete all of the selected 404s. You may have several pages to go through… if you scroll down, there is a “Delete All” button, at the botom of this page, under “Log Management”. ??

You may also want to change the dropdown to a shorter duration.
Go to the “Tools/Redirection/Options” page and select the 404 duration to be “No logs” or “1 day”.

Hope that helps.

*Note: the prefix of your table may be different.

Hi John,

How’s things? Hope you’re well. ??

I have the same issue as dsaro – uploading the CSV file leads to a blank page. I’m using WP3.9.2 and the latest version of the plugin (v2.3.6).

Also, I just noticed on the documentation that there’s no real notes on how to use the upload feature, or what the CSV file should contain. I thought there used to be a sample CSV file… not sure.

Anyway, hope this is fixed soon.

Cheers,

Zain

…thinking about it, the reason for the footer/widget areas being detected as unused is probably because these are not associated to posts/pages.

In theory, these images are uploaded, but their paths are used in the text widgets with no relationship/association being made.

Could the data from Sliders be missing, as they’re not indexed? Some create their own custom tables, so again, there’ll be no Post/Page association…

Just a thought. I hope this may help you with your plugin!

Hi Opicron,

Great plugin – very useful, and appreciated! ??

Some feedback I have which I hope you might have time to look into are:

– PDF attachements seem to get detected as “unused images”
– widget area that contain images (footer/sidebar) also are detected as “unused images”.
– there are a few images in Sliders that also get put in the “unused images” list, however I have not found any logic to this at the moment.

As a consequence, these images/pdf files are being sent to the “moved” directory, and a lot of places are missing images.

Suggestion:
===========
A “Multiple Image Restore” feature would be useful.

For example, I have a whole list of images in the footer that will need to be replaced (about 10-12). The unused images list brings me back 71 pages to go through (7000+ images*), which is a lot to try and find 10 images!

A textarea where I could place a line separated list of images to Restore, would be so useful! The skip feature is good, however, it’s difficult to know what will go missing before you start…

I hope you may take this suggestion into consideration.

Anyway, keep up the great work. It’s a brilliant little plugin, and I look forward to it improving!

Cheers,

Zain
*PS: Yes… 7000 images is a lot – that’s because there are new themes that have lots of sizes for various content area (portfolio, feature, slider etc., and more!).

Hi Chadwickhugh. Just like you and Luis, I’m also looking for a solution to this issue.

I’m currently trying to hunt down any hooks or filters that will enable the “Link To/Media File” URL field, and swap it out with the *Large* (or any other size) version of the image.

With any luck, something may turn up… fingers crossed. ??

I had the same issue, although I noticed that there’s 2 height attributes in the “responsive-video-embeds/css/rve.css” file.

There’s “height:0px” as well as “height:auto”.

Removing the first one (0px) seems to make the height work properly.

Please can this be updated?

Thanks in advance. ??

Thanks for the heads up on the other plugin. Going a little off thread here… but do does the plugin require a Bootstrap theme to be used, or can any other responsive framework be used with it?

Anyway, thanks also for looking into the image issue. It would be useful to be able to position and size the image to exactly where it’s needed. ??

I really appreciate the response. Keep up the great work!

Hi,

I’d quite like to see a trash feature too. At the moment, I’m working on a site that is so large, the “All Pages” section doesn’t even want to load… but CMS Tree Page View helps me to see the pages, and access them to delete.

It would be so much easier to have a little “Delete Page” on the hover menu… and would be really appreciated!

Thanks for much for the great work put in!

Cheers,

Zain

I completely agree – EWWW Image Optimizer is extremely useful. Thanks for building it, it’s really appreciated.

…and please can we get a progress bar of some description?

I’m currently running the bulk optimization, but all I can see is the browser load icon at the top. I guess I’ll just have to wait until something happens…

Thanks again!

Skip the hack. There’s another way, although it’s not obvious and isn’t properly outlined in the documentation!

Basically, it’s possible to add any “data-setting” attributes (e.g. data-settings="initial-overlay-enable:false; volume-enable:false; autoresize:fit"), but you have to drop the "data-" part off and add it to the shortcode.

So basically, in the shortcode, just add settings="autoresize:fit" to the shortcode.

e.g. [sublimevideo poster="image.jpg" src1="videoSD.mp4" src2="(hd)videoHD.mp4" width="640" height="360" settings="autoresize:fit"]

Important: If you also notice, additional settings can be added into the “data-settings” but you must separate them using semi-colons.

Hope that clears up some confusion for other plugin users. Also hope the documentation is updated slighty. ??

Quick Hack for anyone interested in making the inserted videos work with a Responsive theme.

1. Open the “sublimeVideo-official” plugin folder
2. find the “class-sublimevideo-shortcodes.php” file to edit
3. on line 38, add the data-settings='autoresize:fit' part to the video tag.
4. save the file

That works for me for the moment and makes the videos fit to the size of the content area.

It would be nice to see this as a dropdown option in the plugin in future! ??
