Lightweight and useful

I like this simple plugin. It is easy to set up.
Can’t enter anymore

After logging in from the new URL, it just goes to the home page and I no longer can enter the admin area.
Do people test their code anymore before release? Now I will have to spend all day trying to get back in

This plugin does exactly what it is supposed to do, with little code and reliably. Very good work!
The only drawback: After uninstallation, the database entries “rwal_redirect_field” and “rwal_page” must be deleted manually in the “wp-options” table. 😉
Excellent, thank you
