Hi
Sometimes we criticize providers for rarely updating their plugins. Well, this is clearly not the case. It’s the fifth update in a few weeks…
Before I can get through all 36 of my sites and rejoice, I have to start all over again – another Redirection update has been released.
Hey, maybe you should stop training us?
The plugin is excellent, no doubt about that.
This plugin is fabulous. It is so easy to use… all the hard work is done for you. Just 2 fields to fill in (with copy-and-paste) – paste the incoming link into one field and where you want to send it into another field. I was thrilled when I realized you can sort your Redirections into separate groups – that saves a lot of time searching when you are looking for something. Super easy to back up all of the data you entered.
And one of the best things for anybody like me who doesn’t know anything how writing code or how the internet does what it does… this is an amazingly popular plugin (more than 2 million installations!) so there are people on the support forum already asking the questions I have. I was wondering to redirect somebody who comes to the home page. One person asked if “/” is all you use, and the answer was “Yes, / is the home page.”
No need to think about it, just use this plugin. And donate to it… I’m going to go do that now.
