very good and simple
Works perfectly, as expected. I moved the site to another domain and decided not to copy some pages – error 404 appeared. The solution is simple and simple installation.
I will slightly correct my comment. The first time I applied this plug-in was the version of WP 4.4, I recently tried another version of WP – 4.7.2. – The plugin works exceptionally well.
Thanks for making this wonderful plugin!
Works great.
Worked perfectly on my woocommerce site!
