Overview

Define allowed routes for your website, all other routes will return a 404 error. Permalinks will be overruled.

Login, Backend routes and local files (like wp-login.php) are always available to prevent a lockout.

Also delete all your page caches after enabling to prevent unwanted routing behavior.

Use cases:

  • Absolute control over all permalinks
  • Prevent unwanted search engine indexing
  • Be sure no custom post type adds unwanted permalinks
  • No frontend needed

Important:

  • The routing overrules permalinks and works like a whitelist. Only correct entered routes will go through. You should test the routing before using on production environments
  • Be careful using several routing- or redirect plugins at the same time
  • Do not forget to delete all your page caches after enabling/disabling the routing…
