The WordPress plug-in Redirection against 404 notifications

Redirection is the most popular redirect manager for WordPress. You can easily manage 301 redirects, track 404 errors and redirect all dead URLs (404 notifications) that you encounter on your site. Because your visitor is always redirected to an existing page, they’ll leave your website less quickly.

Create redirects

It is very easy to redirect an old page to a new page. You do this by adding a new redirect. For instance:/my-old-page/ to /my-new-page/. Suppose you’ve changed a slug and all references on Google still refer to that old slug. You solve it easily by setting up a wildcard redirect.

Set up wildcard redirects

You can easily redirect a slug by adding a wildcard redirect. You do this by adding this in the source url:^/old-slug/*. Then enter at target url: /new-slug toe/. After this https://www.someurl.com/old-slug/this-is-a-post/ is redirected to https://www.someurl.com/new-slug/this-is-a-post/. But also https://www.someurl.com/old-slug/this-is-another-post/ to https://www.someurl.com/new-slug/this-is-another-post/. So you don’t have to redirect all posts. Nice! You understand the idea. Read the full documentation here Redirection.
