WordPress Redirection plug-in is perfect

Reading Time: < 1 minute

This isn’t a new plug-in, but it’s new to me and I love it!

I recently converted one of my sites from a custom CMS to WordPress mu.  I manually 301 redirected some of the popular pages, but decided to let the rest of them die off.  However, I just installed the Redirection plug-in

and I’m cleaning it up like magic!

It automatically logs 404 errors on the site, then lets you turn that 404 into a 301 redirect with a single click.  I point the 404 to the comparable page on the new blog, and things are quickly falling into place.  I should see much less of a traffic drop-off now that I’m using this.

It won’t be a terribly useful plug-in for most blogs, but if you’re converting any site to use WordPress, this is a great way to get things tidied up.

  1. Hi
    this is steve
    we have redesigned our site netgainrealestate from drupal to wordpress.
    now we want to redirect all drupal links to wordpress. It seems it works with this plugin but anyhow this lugin blocks many sections of website. It blocks login section and some other forms too.
    What could be the reason?
    old drupal link – http://www.netgainrealestate.com/index.php?q=questions_successful_real_estate_investing

    New site link –
    http://www.netgainrealestate.com/questions-the-road-to-successful-real-estate-investing/

    could i get any help on this?

    Thanks

    Regards,
    Steve
