This plugin used to be simple, just doing av simple redirecting task. It know has gotten issues cluttering the log file when debugging. Support recommends another, totally bloated plugin. I recommend staying away and find antoher simple redirects mananger. Sad.

No longer working after upgrading (for URL strings with symbols)
by thejae·2 years ago
First, thank you for this great free plugin. We’ve been using it for many years. Recently after upgrading WP to 5.9.5 (I know it’s an old version but bear with me). The following redirects no longer work
Request:/blog-test/blog-title.html?lang=en
However if I remove the ?lang=en parameter, it will work again. We’ve never had this issue before.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Redirects stopped working
by Stanislav Khromov·3 years ago·2 replies
All redirects randomly stopped working after being fine for many years. Now the redirected paths just return 404. 🤷
Plugin Quit Working
by graphicsbyte·3 years ago·1 reply
I have been using this plugin for years with no problems. This morning I noticed I had many 404 errors and none of the redirects were working. The plugin currently says it’s untested with WordPress 6.0.1 which is the version I am using.
Until a patch happens this plugin is useless.
