very good and simple

very good and simple

Works great
by Nikonn·8 years ago

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.

Does the job!
