This is what I’m looking for! thanks for this
I was looking for alternative solutions to editing an .htcaccess file or adding code to a server. Just a light weight, quick solution!
Super easy redirect to lowercase url
I recommended using WP Force Lowercase URLs on all of my employer’s websites hosted at WPEngine. We ended up mass-installing the plugin on more than 150 websites using WordPress 4.3 and WordPress 4.4. It’s truly an excellent plugin and does exactly what the name says. I really appreciate the work that went into creating this easy fix for a big problem. Thanks Josh!
This plugin is awesome, it does one thing very well (that should be built into WordPress anyway!) and isn’t bloated with a million features. Highly recommended.
