Updated January 22, 2010.

Redirection is a WordPress plugin to manage 301 redirections, keep track of 404 errors, and generally tidy up any loose ends your site may have. This is particularly useful if you are migrating pages from an old website, or are changing the directory of your WordPress installation.

Features include:

Supports both WordPress-based and Apache-based redirections
404 error monitoring - captures a log of 404 errors and allows you to easily map these to 301 redirects
RSS feed for 404 errors
Custom 'pass-through' redirections allowing you to pass a URL through to another page, file, or website.
Full logs for all redirected URLs
Create redirections based upon a URL, browser, referring site, or login status
Automatically add a 301 redirection when a post's URL changes
Full regular expression support
Fully localized
Export all redirections to CSV, XML, or Apache .htaccess files
Import Apache .htacces files

Redirection is available in the following languages:

Installation

Installation is just like any WordPress plugin:

Download redirection.zip
Unzip
Upload to redirection directory to /wp-content/plugins on your server
Activate the plugin
Configure options from Manage - Redirection

Note that you must have a permalinks structure setup through WordPress.

You can find full details of installing a plugin on the plugin installation page.

Core Concepts

Redirection uses three core concepts:

Modules
Groups
Redirects

A module consists of many groups, and each group consists of many redirections. A module determines how the redirections will be used, and a group allows you to separate redirections into logical units. A redirection represents an action performed when a particular URL is accessed.

Don't worry, there's more to come!

Modules

At the most basic level, a module determines how redirections are implemented. There are three types of module:

WordPress
Apache
404 errors

The WordPress module uses WordPress to implement redirections. This means it works for all permalink-enabled sites and so has the greatest compatibility.

The Apache module, as you would expect, uses Apache to implement redirections. This means that each redirection is written to an Apache .htaccess file, giving you better performance than the WordPress module, at the cost of less compatibility and less flexibility (some features, such as redirection statistics, are only available from the WordPress module).

Separate from these is the 404 error module. This uses Redirection to keep track of 404 errors.

Modules

Each module can be exported to CSV, XML, or an Apache .htaccess file. You can also view logs for each module via an RSS feed

WordPress Module

The WordPress module is the default module and provides the most features. The main disadvantage of this module is that each time a URL is redirected it requires WordPress to be loaded (contrast this to the Apache module where a redirection occurs before WordPress loads).

This module is configured as follows:

Wordpress Module

These options are detailed below:

Canonical - determine whether the www should be removed or added to your site URL.
Strip index - if enabled then any attempt to access a index.php, index.html, or index.asp file will cause an automatic redirection to the same URL, minus the index file.
Time Limit - sets a site-wide PHP timeout limit. Useful if something is timing out.
Error level - sets the PHP error reporting level. Useful for removing unwanted warnings, or for viewing hidden ones

Apache Module

Rather than using WordPress to provide redirections the Apache module writes data to an Apache .htaccess file. If you site supports these then this will give you the greatest performance, at the cost of losing a few items of functionality. For example, the Apache module provides no statistical information so it is not possible for the Redirection plugin to keep track of how many times a particular redirection has been used.

The module is configured as follows:

Apache Module

The options that differ from the WordPress module are:

Location - the location of the .htaccess file. The default will be your site directory
Ban IPs - prevents certain IPs from accessing your site
Allow IPs - allow certain IPs to access your site
Raw .htaccess - add custom rules
Site URL - an advanced option which allows you to set the site base URL

Note that when writing to a .htaccess file the Apache module will retain any existing non-WordPress data, so you can still add custom rules.

404 Module

This module is a little different to the others in that it is designed to record 404 errors. Rather than make this a general function, as in previous versions, the power of this module comes from the fact that redirections created inside it will be ignored from the 404 log. In other words, the module records all 404 errors except the specified URLs. Combined with the RSS feed this gives you a lot of options to keep track of errors on your site.

404 Errors

If you do want to ignore a 404 error (for example, you site may not have a favicon.ico and you don't want this recorded) then you should create redirections as normal, but set the action to 'Do nothing'. As for other modules you can create redirections based upon any action or rule, or matching a particular regular expression.

Groups

A group is a logical collection of redirected URLs. You can create as many groups as you wish, and groups can be re-ordered. URLs are matched based not only on the order in which they occur within a group, but the order in which groups occur within a module.

Group Edit

As well as allowing you to collect redirections together, you can also specify whether the redirections within a group are logged.

As an additional configuration option you can select which group an automatically generated URL is put in when a post/page or category is changed.

Using Redirection

The main idea behind Redirection is that you create several URLs that you want to redirect. These URLs are placed within a group, which in turn is placed within a module. The module determines how the URLs are redirected, and the group allows you to logically organise the URLs.

Each URL (or redirection) can be configured to behave in different ways. When creating a redirection there are several pieces of information you must provide:

Source URL - This is the original URL that you want to redirect somewhere else
Match - This tells the plugin how you want to match the source URL
Action - Determines what happens if the URL is matched
Regular expression - Tells the plugin that the source URL is a regular expression (i.e. a pattern that may match many URLs)
Target URL - most actions have a target URL. This is typically the URL that the user will be redirected to should the pattern match

Create

Note that items can be re-ordered and this may influence which redirection takes effect.

Matching URLs

Matching a URL is a key part of Redirection and consists of a source URL. This URL must exactly match a URL that you want to redirect. For example, your site has the page:

http://yoursite.com/oldpage/that/needs/redirecting/

The source URL for this is: /oldpage/that/needs/redirecting/. The source does not require your website address, and it is only possible to redirect a URL that exists on your website (you cannot redirect an external website, for example).

Advanced users can make use of regular expressions to reduce the number of redirections they need to create. A regular expression is basically a pattern that tells the plugin how to match. For example:

/(\d*)/(\d*)/(.*)

This pattern tells the plugin that you want to match a URL that looks like:

/2007/05/some-url/

That is, the (\d*) indicates a number, and the (.*) a sequence of characters. Regular expressions are a complicated subject and this page will not attempt to give more than a passing overview of using them. If you do need more help then you should take a look at a regular expression website.

Remember that if the source URL is a regular expression then you must enable the regular expression option, otherwise Redirection will just treat you source URL as plain text.

In addition to the source URL you can also specify a match condition:

URL only - Only matches the URL (the majority of your redirections will use this)
URL and referrer - Matches a URL when the source and referring site matches (i.e. match the URL only when the user came from a certain website)
URL and login status - Matches a URL when the source and user's login status matches (i.e. match the URL only when the user is logged in)
URL and user agent - Matches a URL when the source and user's browser matches (i.e. when the user is using a particular type of web browser)

These special rules can be both positive and negative. For example, you can match a URL when the user is logged in (and be redirect to one URL), or when the user is not logged in (and be redirected to another URL). This makes it very easy to create custom rules where users are redirected if they are using a particular browser, or if they came from a particular website.

Actions

An action tells Redirection what to do when a source URL is matched:

Redirect to URL - The default case and the majority of your redirections will use this
Redirect to random post - An esoteric action that may be useful to some people
Pass through - An advanced option that allows you to masquerade one URL as another (i.e. when the source URL is accessed it actually displays the contents of another URL without the user being aware)
Error (404) - Causes a 404 error to be returned
Do nothing - A dummy option that can be used if you just want to track accesses to a URL

Configuration of rules and actions

Depending on the particular combination of action and match rule you may be required to provide further details for a redirection.

Basic URL redirection

You can specify which HTTP code is used to redirect a URL (301, 302, or 307):

Redirect Url

A couple of examples:

  /blog/(.*) => /$1

This will match any URL that starts with /blog/, and will redirect it to the same URL but without /blog/. For example, /blog/2006/10/01/mypost will be redirected to /2006/10/01/mypost.

  /2006/month_d+/(.*) => /2006/$1/$2

This will match any URL that starts /2006/month_, and is then followed by a number. This will be redirected to the same URL, but without month_. For example, /2006/month_1/something will be redirected to /2006/1/something.

To replace a single dash in a URL with a space:

  /tags/(.*?)-(.*?) => /tags/$1%20$2

Redirect to URL by matching user agent

This allows you to configure a redirection to occur when a specific browser (the user agent) is used:

Redirect User Agent

A set of pre-defined user agents is available from the drop-down menu or you can specify your own. The user agent match is always performed using a regular expression.

Two target URLs can be specified, one for if the user agent does match, and one for if it doesn't match.

Redirect to URL by matching referrer

Similar to the user agent rule but this one looks at the referrer. That is, if a user follows a link from another site to yours, the original site is passed along by the browser (unless disabled) to your site so that you know where the user came from. Using this rule you can base your redirections upon this original site.

Redirect to URL by login status

This rule allows you to match a URL based upon the user's WordPress login status. That is, if they are logged into your site.

This plugin doesn't work correctly for me. It gives back a 302 instead of a 301, i'm also using the "permalink redirect" plugin, which can be found here: http://fucoder.com/code/permalink-redirect/

have you got any idea what can be the problem?

Sorry, I should have made it clear that the plugin is WP 2 only!

Roy, there's a new version, try that and see how it goes. I'm also using it with fucoder's permalink plugin.

bug report for the redirection.zip file with 21.900 byte filesize (the plugin says it's version 1.0, but according to this web page I've downloaded v1.2): the redirects don't work for changed page slugs, due to one small but silly error.

[technical details removed now it's fixed!]

only due to these changes I was able to get your plugin to work correctly, so I suppose you should update your download zip

I get a recursion error with this plug-in when accessing any URL on my blog. Any chance that this plug-in won't work right with IIS-based hosting? I've had other WordPress plug-in problems related to my host using IIS.

I've had the same problem with edit not working.

Additionally you need to change the include directives in redirection.php lines 23 and 461 to

include dirname(__FILE__) . '/redirection_item.php');

Without the directory pathing php5 servers give an open_basedir error.

Zip updated again (3rd time's the trick, right?)

Mike, that sounds like a server issue as I'm developing on PHP5 with no errors. Could you possibly send me the output from phpinfo on your server so I can look at the PHP settings and try and replicate it? Thanks
#8941
Mike :
Aug 8, 2006 5:41 am |

The 3rd time was the charm.

The open_basedir error results from PHP attempting to run the included file in the tmp directory instead of the current directory. I've tried mucking around with the apache files to set the basedir, but I have found that retrieving the the current path and appending the included plugin name gets around this issue. Most other plugins use this approach as not al Apache installations are the same.

Nice plugin. It works well on my blog.

John,

The plugin works great. One tiny issue I have found is with the automatic 301 creation. If I have a post in draft state and then publish it using a different title and slug, Redirection will create a 301 redirect entry.

I don't know if it is possible to detect, but I think that the 301 entries should only be created when a published post's slug is changed. This way you don't end of with extra unnecessary rules.

Rob :
Sep 20, 2006 9:05 am |

Please can you provide some examples of how to use the regex functionality?
For example, how would I point people heading for /weblog/2005/12/index.php to /2005/12/? That is, people heading for /weblog/NNNN/BB/index.php to /NNNN/BB/?

Two questions:-
1. If the method with the plugin is separate from the .htaccess method, how does it work? And should I delete my .htaccess 301 redirects?
2. I am migrating my Movable Type blog, with 360 posts, to WordPress, but changing the url structure (from /weblog/2005/12/audience_relati.php, whereby MT takes the first 15 characters of a post title, to /2005/12/15/audience-relationships-threat-or-opportunity/). I had started using .htaccess to set up redirects individually, but I have hundreds of posts - is it possible to enlist this plugin to intitiate some regex-based (?) method of automatic redirection? Ideally, for posts; if not, then, as above, for monthly archives.

Thanks
#11497
Rob :
Sep 22, 2006 3:05 am |

I'm moving by Movable Type blog to WordPress, changing the URL form - and so, location - of all 360 of my posts (from the form http://www.domain.com/weblog/2005/12/audience_relati.php to http://www.domain.com/2005/12/audience-relationships-threat-or-opportunity/).

I had hoped to set up individual redirects for each post, but that would be a nightmare, so I deployed your Redirection plugin, using a regex filter, to at least refer people from a dated post like http://www.domain.com/weblog/2005/12/audience_relati.php to the new monthly archive page of http://www.domain.com/2005/12/ (from weblog/(.*)/(.*)/index.php to /$1/$2).

This was when I discovered the Related Posts for Your 404 plugin (www.w-a-s-a-b-i.com/archives/2006/02/20/related-posts-for-your-404/), which is almost exactly what I've been looking for - it applied related posts functionality (based on the slug) to your 404 page - ideal..

But I hit a snag because these two plugins appear to overlap. That is, when a user comes to the former URL http://www.domain.com/weblog/2005/12/audience_relati.php, they are redirected to http://www.domain.com/weblog/2005/12/ (which doesn't exist; should be http://www.domain.com/2005/12/) - and the 404 template kicks in and searches for likely posts... not the desired effect.

Do you have any ideas please?
Thanks
#11892
John( author ) :
Sep 27, 2006 4:50 am |

Mike: Good idea, I'll implement that one.

Rob: Regex is a BIG topic so I can only scratch the surface. For the example you gave you could try something like:

/weblog/(\d )/(\d )/index.php => $1/$2

This is matching anything that starts with '/weblog/', ends with 'index.php', and has two groups of digits. \d represents a digit, the means '1 or more', and the brackets indicate that the values should be captured and can then be used in the replacement string ($1 is the first set of digits, and $2 is the second).

Note that I haven't tested this regex pattern so it may not work exactly as you want.

To answer your questions

1. The plugin works because WordPress 2 has a generic .htaccess rule which pushes every URL access through WordPress. This means that a plugin can hook into the URL translation stage before WordPress takes over.

2. I think something like that won't be possible or, at the very least, will be a very complex regex pattern

Hi,

The plugin seemed to work - until I changes my WP directory (which was why I thought I needed redirection in the first place). Now, when I activate the plugin (without touching any options) and request my frontpage, the browser goes "Problem loading page - Flock has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

Any ideas?
Thx.

Hello,

First of all, thanks a lot for this very efficient plugin
Nevertheless, I had to modify redirection.php to make it work fine with my installation:
483: if ($newurl != $url && $newurl == preg_replace ('@'.$pattern.'@', $item->url_new, $newurl))
change to:
if ($newurl != $url && $url == $pattern)
This checks that the page has to be redirected

505: header ("HTTP/1.1 $type".$types[$type]); 506: header ("Location: $newurl"); 507: exit ();
change to:
header ("HTTP/1.1 $type ". $types[$type]); header ("Location: $newurl"); header("Status: $type ". $types[$type]); exit();
To avoid errors from Apache...

Questions:
To redirect not only 404 pages but also others, I had to withdraw this test: 460: if (is_404 ())
Do you have any other solution?!

Thanks by advance!

You are my hero! - this is exactly how I imagined such a plugin in my wildest dreams.

I am your hero too: found and fixed a bug:
in redirection_item.php and in redirection.php (and maybe elsewhere?) you need to replace bloginfo ('home') with bloginfo ('wpurl') to make it work for people who installed wordpress into a directory but make it appear at their document root.

ALSO: do you have an email list (or a feed) for just product update announcements? [-your blog is fun but I am suffering from information overload
#16892
Andrey :
Nov 17, 2006 1:50 am |

oXfoZ, did your trick with 404 work? - It did not for me...

Generally, it is important to understand that this plugin ONLY redirects from URLs that are NOT THERE and therefore generate the 404 error.

If you need to redirect away from something that DOES exist... use other tools.

John, may I humbly request such a feature? - Sometimes it is important to redirect away without moving the content (for maintenance reasons for example). Please?

Thanks!

John (author).

Redirection has an issue redirecting to URL's with a ' in them.

For example:
old: /tag/Mikes
New: /tag/Mike's

It is saved as /tag/Mike\'s

When you get a redirect it cannot resolved Mike\'s and I get a 404/not found error. I tried editing the wp-option to changes Mike\'s to Mike's but when I bring up Manage->Redirection I get a message that no redirections have been defined.

hi there,

I really like your plugin but now I need a more complex redirect and I do not know how to do it.

I am using wpmu not plain and simple wp. still the plugin works if I only coudl get it it going

currently wpmu adds /blog/ to the url of posts which I want to strip...

i.e. my site is here: http://zice.ro here is one testpost: http://zice.ro/blog/2006/12/01/featured-month/ I want all posts redirected from http://zice.ro/blog/whatever... to http://zice.ro/whatever...

how could I manage this with your plugin?

It works if you manually enter http://zice.ro/2006/12/01/featured-month/ with teh blog portion already striped.

sorry for my last post, what I was trying to do was to get rid of the blog portion, I just realized this cannot be done by this plugin as the posts do give an error without the /blog/ portion in the url, and this plugin does not do url rewriting anyway, does it?

The "strip www" option does not appear to be working for me.

0. My host is yahoo small business hosting, which does not allow for .htaccess files (I hoped that your pluging worked around that issue somehow), running WP 2.0
1. I installed v1.3. (uploaded folder and activated).
2. I selected the "strip-www" option under the 'options' tab.
3. I navigated to a page with the www prefix (http://www.tynerblain.com/blog/2006/03/06/top-ten-tips-for-preventing-innovation/) and the page was displayed, without redirecting (or at least without updating the URL in the address bar (firefox 1.5.0.9, in case that matters)

Right now, my only hope seems to be finding a new host. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Am I SOL? If so - I would suggest a feature - have your awesome maint UI include a "could not create .htaccess file" message or whatever, if the wordpress instance is on a server that will not support it.

Thanks! I'm trying it out. Redirects from pages that don't exist work fine (ie
http://www.whelp.nl/4-stappenplan-test redirects to http://www.whelp.nl/4-stappenplan
), but redirects for existing pages not.

http://www.whelp.nl/4-stappenplan/stap-1-plannen should redirect to
http://www.whelp.nl/4-stappenplan

Any ideas?

By the way: I found a small error in your redirection.php on line 101: you missed a ; after endforeach - this is what Jordan is referring to.

John, can I achieve this with the above plugin?

a. I have a site at abc.com.
b. I also have another at abc.com/def
c. I book the url def.com
d. Considering I've a lot of space left at abc's server, I want to start using def.com as the main URL for abc.com/def

Most important point here is that abc.com/def is a wordpress blog.

Action 1:
When I use URL forwarding at def.com's end, it sure opens up abc.com/def with no problems but all links in the page don't work properly...goes into a page not found error. Obvious, since I've not made any change at abc.com/def's end.

Action 2:
I need to do something at abc.com/def wordpress installation folder so that def.com becomes the default url. What should this be?

John. You rock!

I've tested this plugin and it's awesome. The pass-through feature is extremely powerful. Black or white hat SEO techniques - this plugin is a must for any serious WordPress user that's serious about search engine optimisation and ensuring their pages don't 404.

The possibility to "pass-through" is open to both black and white hat uses. I'd just to point out to people considering using this plugin: "With great power comes great responsibility" - use this plugin wisely!

Also, I would actively encourage people to support John and make a small donation where possible. Do you realise that John doesn't even have a PayPal donation form anywhere on this site? I'd hate to come here one day and not be able to find a these plugins!

John,

I really like the new version. There 404 functionality is very useful. A do have 2 usability improvements for it though.

1) The 404 page shows the offending link as relative url. If I click the plus to add a redirect, the source URL is filled in but with a fully qualified URL instead of the relative one from above.

2) When I click the of the 404 page, the Source URL gets filled in. From a usability standpoint I have to scroll down to the Add new redirection section. It would be great if when I hit plus, the page focus is now the Target URL field.

#27202

Apr 3, 2007 8:27 am |

John,

2 more suggestions related to the 404 functionality.

1 When adding a new redirect from 404 and clicking Add Redirection, there isn't a clear indication the action was performed. Perhaps a pop up message "Redirection Added" or just clearing the redirection fields would be fine.

2) After adding a new 404 redirection, it would be great if that 404 link was then removed from the 404 list. It would then allow a user to work through the list. I would make this a configurable option though (Options)

Bonus suggestion) When creating a new redirection link, it would be great if there was a preview button which showed (popup or new window) the effect of this redirection. Usually I need to create a new one for the 404, then click on the 404 link to see if my redirection fixed the issue.

i've moved the blogs wordpress url from the site/blogdirectory to site.

and it's really doing a great job with redirecting all those old links.
i'm havin one major problem though!

it redirects also urls that i wouldn't want to be redirected. like the url of the "comment this article". i think that's because the wordpress directory and blog url are not the same in my case...

i would really appreciate your help with this. i really need the plugin's functionallity.

My development system is a Mac too, so there should be no problem there. Try 1.7.4 as I spotted a typo in a field name, which could be affecting you.

#27929
webee :
Apr 16, 2007 11:02 am |

hi john,

here's what i mean:
- because i moved my blog i want to create a redirect of all urls like:
www. webee .ro / webeeblog / posts to www. webee .ro / posts
- so i tried creating a redirect (using regex) like this:
/(.*)/webeeblog/(.*) to /($1)/($2)

- and this also creates a redirect for the page:
www. webee .ro / webeeblog / wp-admin / ... which is a non existing page...

i hope this is more clear than the first explanation...

thanks again,
webee.ro is a design blog
#28011
John( author ) :
Apr 17, 2007 6:20 am |

Webee,

Redirection will redirect any pattern that matches the regular expression, regardless of whether that URL exists or not. If /webeelog/wp-admin is being redirected to /wp-admin and you don't want this to happen, then you'll need to either make the regex more specific, or you can add another item to redirection for /webeelog/wp-admin/(.*) that results in a 404 (not a 301).

Hello John,

1 question and 1 suggestion,

Question: When I want to add a redirection rule, it does not work. I saw log of apache shows "POST /wpwp-contentpluginsedirection/ajax.php?cmd=add_redirect&id=0 HTTP/1.1", apparently the path is not correct. I install my wordpress under directory "wp".

Suggestion: Can you add a new code 410 for GONE for a certain URL? It is useful and should be easy to implement.
#29011
John( author ) :
May 3, 2007 4:03 am |

Mark, 410 added to version 1.7.5. Can you tell me a little more about your setup? No one else has reported the same problem as you, so it may be a configuration setting that isnt being handled.
#29140
Robert Irizarry :

Hi John. I had a question. I've been looking at Permalink Redirect which as per its description "ensures that pages and entries are always accessed via the permalink. Otherwise, a 301 redirect will be issued." It appears to be a zero config plugin. Is there a way to accomplish the same with Redirection? And btw, great plugin!
#29152

tion/ajax.php?cmd=add_redirect&id=0 HTTP/1.1" 404 286 "http://ying.homedns.org/wp/wp-admin/edit.php?page=redirection.php"

Stanislaw Malolepszy :
May 11, 2007 2:28 pm |

Hi John,

I've encountered exactly the same problem as Stefan and Remco has. 404 logging works fine, however adding a new redirection results only in a page refresh.

Have you already looked into this problem, or maybe I could help you somehow to resolve it?

I'm running Wordpress 2.1.3, all other plugins disabled, on Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) with PHP 5.2.2 (extensions loaded: bcmath, calendar, com_dotnet, ctype, session, filter, ftp, hash, iconv, json, odbc, pcre, Reflection, date, libxml, standard, tokenizer, zlib, SimpleXML, dom, SPL, wddx, xml, xmlreader, xmlwriter, apache2handler, mbstring, mysql, mysqli, PDO, pdo_sqlite, SQLite) and MySQL 5.0.37-community-nt. (It's a WAMP5 installation: http://www.wampserver.com/en/)

On the screencast the plugin looks great!
All the best,
Stanislaw

Mike :
May 14, 2007 10:08 am |

John,

As my ongoing input to improvements to redirection, it would be create to have a global option to redirect 404 errors to a specific url. Basically I see the logic, applying any redirections first then if a 404 error is hit, still log the error, but replace with a global 404 url (it could be the site url, an index page, etc.).

Mike
#29614
Mike :
May 14, 2007 10:19 am |

John,

False positive on 404 error. Given the url http://www.mikekoepke.com/2006/08/07/john-bachelder-documents-gettysburg-for-posterity/#comments

This is a valid url that brings up a single page jumping to the comments section (the anchor). (default WP behavior)

Redirection is flagging this a 404 error, which is incorrect. Clicking on the above links takes you exactly where it should on the blog.

Mike
#29615
Mike :
May 14, 2007 10:38 am |

John,

On your Regular Expressions example above, here is a scenario you might want to add:

Replacing a character with another.

For example, I have an image with spaces in the name: My Image.jpg. Some "stupid" sites seem to want to hit my blog as http:\www.site.com\wp-content\uploads\My Image.jpg rather than http:\www.site.com\wp-content\uploads\My Image.jpg. The image link gets correctly handled by wordpress when it renders the post (it translates to http:\www.site.com\wp-content\uploads\My Image.jpg)

Another example:
http://www.site.com/tags/my tag

Once again since there isn't universal standard on how to handle multiword keywords you can get a site hitting you as http://www.site.com/tags/my-tag.

Obviously both these bad urls can be fixed with a simple character regex substitution in redirection.

I have to say this plugin has really come along way and is becoming an essential WP plugin.

Mike
#29616
Mike :
May 14, 2007 10:41 am |

In my last comment it should read

http:\www.site.com\wp-content\uploads\My(percentsign20)Image.jpg as the right url with the bad site not using percentsign20, but a blank space in the url.

Robert: Permalink Redirect is a great plugin and I use it myself. It does a different job to Redirection.

Masterkey, Stefan, Remco, Stanislaw: I think I've located the problem as being due to a difference between Windows and Unix. Should be fixed in 1.7.6

Mike: Not sure I understand your global 404 suggestion. By definition a 404 cannot redirect (if it did it would be a 301!). I tried recreating the false 404 on my test site but the #comments did not cause a 404 log message. Could you tell me what pattern matched the 404 in your logs? (press on the date in the 404 log to expand the full details). I've added an example for single-character substitution.

Mike
#29946
John( author ) :
May 21, 2007 9:30 pm |

Ah, I understand. I've added a 'global redirect on unknown 404' option. A 404 will still appear in the log as a 404, but the user will be redirected to the URL if nothing else matches. Note that it's important that the 404 URL exists otherwise you'll get stuck in a redirection loop! Also note that by using this option you are hiding the 404 from the user, so a search engine will never know that a URL is incorrect (they will just think it has moved)
#29954
Mike :
May 21, 2007 11:18 pm |

John,

Thanks.

Here is a small quirk. I have 2 pages of redirect rules. How do I move a rule from page 2 to page 1? I can move the redirect to the top of page 2, but there is no way to move it past position 26 to page 1. (I'm trying to move the \tag\- => \tag\ regex to the top of the list.

Finally, thanks for the example /tags/(.*?)-(.*?) => /tags/$1 $2
What does the regex look like to replace all dashes in a url to spaces (or )? Given a tag such as: here-is-my-tag, the rule above recursively goes through and you get:
here is-my-tag
here is my-tag
here is my tag

according to the redirection log. Ultimately it gets it right, but it takes 4 passes to resolve.

Mike
#29995
Michel Fortin :
May 22, 2007 1:33 pm |

Perfect. Thanks, John. Works fine, now. By the way, I love your plugins. This one is so helpful -- I used to use 404 Notifier by Alex King and modded the htaccess file each time.

Regex is a bit of beast to tame, and some of my code were too greedy or wrong. Often, I wouldn't know where my redirects were wrong. With your plugin, and the logs it creates, I can more easily deduce where the problems are.

Bottom line, I can safely say this plugin shaved off at least 70% from the time it takes me to fix my redirects. It's an incredibly useful plugin, and I highly recommend it to every WP install.
#30005
John( author ) :
May 22, 2007 8:32 pm |

Thanks Michel, that's a great recommendation!

Mike: Yeah, that's a tricky one and I was hoping no one would notice! Right now the only way to move the items across pages is to change the 'per page' dropdown so that the boundary between the two pages moves, drag the item across, and then change the per page back. Messy I know

As for replacing all dashes, this too is tricky. It wouldn't be a problem if it was replacing all dashes, globally, but you only want it within the /tags/ directory. I can't think of a single line regex to do this. A manual workaround would be to repeat the regex with more dashes, up to an arbitrary maximum (say 10 dashes). You would need to put the regex in reverse order so the largest pattern matched first:

/tags/(.*?)-(.*?)-(.*?)-(.*?) => /tags/$1 $2 $3 $4
/tags/(.*?)-(.*?)-(.*?) => /tags/$1 $2 $3
/tags/(.*?)-(.*?) => /tags/$1 $2

This way everything would get matched by exactly one redirection. Again messy.
#30057
Mike :
May 24, 2007 6:17 am |

John,

Thanks for the reply. In terms of the dragging and order, I didn't realize the Per Page option was there. Doh! Setting to a larger # fixes the issue.

I agree the regex stuff on the substitution is a little ugly. I wish these serach engines didn't decide to their own things with separators.

Mike
#30058
Mike :
May 24, 2007 6:59 am |

John,

It looks like I've found a new set of weird issues and requests. At least I'm giving it a good workout.

1) Now that I know the Per Page ability is there, can we add an option for the default setting? 25, 50, 100, 250? What happens is that I go to the Redirection tab and display 100 per page. If I jump over to the 404 log, it resets to 25. I'd like to set the default to 100 and be done with it instead of changing for every tab.

2) I think I found a regex bug. I'm trying to correct a url bug from the past that incorrectly appending some page numbers. The url being /library/book-author/page/2/. If I set up the source url with /library/(.*?)/page/(.*?) and regex enabled with a target url of /library/$1, the source url is getting detected, but what is being generated is /library/book-author2/. I'm trying to discard the $2 variable, but it looks like you're still adding it on. Did I get the regex stuff wrong?

3) A while ago we fixed the single quote stuff in the urls. I'm still having issues with it though, but having a hard time get my hands fully around the exact issue.

I have a tag set up as Pickett's Charge. The incoming url rightfully escapes the single quote with a source url of /tag/Pickett/\'s Charge. I have a rule set up to translate to /tag/Pickett's Charge, which correctly handles the mapping.

Yesterday Google used the referrer url http://www.google.com/search?q=pickett's charge, which is correct but I got a 404 error, with redirection logging it as /tag/Pickett/\'s Charge, which should have been picked up by the above redirection, but it isn't.

I've also seen an incoming url of /tag/Pickett\\'s Charge and /tag/Pickett\'s Charge.

a) There seems to still be an issue on how redirection is detecting single quoted url's when searching for rules
b) I think there may also an issue on how redirection reports back the 301s for single quotes. I believe the offender url is caught with the /', my rule changes to just ', but redirection my still be reporting back as /' to the site. The reason I believe this is that I have a few 404 logged (for a different ' tag) with 404 of /tag/Wilson\\\'s Creek and then a later one of /tag/Wilson\\\\\'s Creek. So given a redirection rule of \', the 301 going back becomes \\\' to escape the single slash and then escape the single quote.

Like I said I'm trying to get my handles around the issue.

4) Small cosmetic issue related to 3 above. The 404 log displays the offending url as /tag/Pickett/\'s Charge. If I click on the plus to add a new redirection, you file in the source url as /tag/Pickett/\'s Charge.

Thanks for all the hard work on this John. Hopefully I gave you enough info on these problems.

Mike
#30060
Mike :
May 24, 2007 8:03 am |

Doh! I'm a victim of the comment form translating (percent)5C when posting...

4) Small cosmetic issue related to 3 above. The 404 log displays the offending url as /tag/Pickett/\’s Charge. If I click on the plus to add a new redirection, you fill in the source url as /tag/Pickett/(percent)5C’s Charge.

3) A while ago we fixed the single quote stuff in the urls. I’m still having issues with it though, but having a hard time get my hands fully around the exact issue.

I have a tag set up as Pickett’s Charge. The incoming url rightfully escapes the single quote with a source url of /tag/Pickett/(percent)5C’s Charge. I have a rule set up to translate to /tag/Pickett’s Charge, which correctly handles the mapping.

Yesterday Google used the referrer url http://www.google.com/search?q=pickett(percent)27s charge, which is correct but I got a 404 error, with redirection logging it as /tag/Pickett/\’s Charge, which should have been picked up by the above redirection, but it isn’t.

I’ve also seen an incoming source url of /tag/Pickett(percent)5C\’s Charge, /tag/Pickett\’s Charge, and /tag/Pickett(percent)5C(percent)5C’s Charge.

a) There seems to still be an issue on how redirection is detecting single quoted url’s when searching for rules (\', (percent)5C', and just (percent)27)
b) I think there may also an issue on how redirection reports back the 301s for single quotes. I believe the offender url is caught with the /’, my rule changes to just ‘, but redirection my still be reporting back as /’ to the site. The reason I believe this is that I have a few 404 logged (for a different ‘ tag) with 404 of /tag/Wilson\\\’s Creek and then a later one of /tag/Wilson\\\\\’s Creek. So given a redirection rule of \’, the 301 going back becomes \\\’ to escape the single slash and then escape the single quote.

May 28, 2007 8:46 pm |

Hi Mike,

That's great, a lot of useful info to work with.

1) Per page settings are now stored on a user basis.
2) It's something to do with the regex. If you have /library/(.*?)/page/(.*) then it works fine. Redirection is just passing the regex to the standard PHP regex functions, so whatever the reasons why (.*?) isnt working is happening inside there.
3) I've cleaned up how the URLs are displayed in the logs. Give the new version (1.7.8) a try and see if this changes anything. If there's still a problem send me the details in an email so that WordPress doesnt munch or mangle things.
#30482
Mike :
Jun 2, 2007 9:42 am |

Hi John,

I wanted to let 1.7.8 soak in a little before I got back to you.

1) Page settings are working great.
2) This seems to be working correctly now in 1.7.8.
3) The one item remaining with this, is that it show as a \' in the log display, but on the 404 page when I go to add a new redirection, it gets plopped into the old url field as \'

On a positive note (and not sure if you did anything with the single quote in 1.7.8), is that this is working much better. I haven't seen any issues so far. The escaped single quotes are correctly getting redirected according to the log. I'll keep watching this.

Thanks for the quick reply and changes. Redirection is definitely one of those must-have plugins and is becoming very rock solid.

I wanted to ask you this because I don't want to have too many plugins active that offer the same features, and if the permalink redirection plugin offered only that I would have used it... BUT it offers some more features that your plugin offers too, so I thought it wuld make sense to incorporate the permalink redirection solution to your plugin too...

well, the thing is this permalink redirect plugin does a lot more than its name suggests:

- old permalink structure => not needed as I use your redirection plugin
- feedburner redirect => don't use it as I have a dedicated feedburner plugin that does much more
- hostname redirect => not needed, handled by your plugin

But like I said, just a suggestion and I will keep using both plugins although I don't need 3/4 of the permalink plugin btw. nice suite of plugins you offer on your site, I use several of them.

Wow! Cool plugin. But how could I use it to redirect a Google ad to another site? Google appends "?gclid=..." to the incoming URL. Everything works OK as long as the URL matches exactly. If this requires a regular expression, it's beyond me to write. Also, is it possible to insert the Google Analytics JavaScript tracking code?

nakul: The plugin requires WordPress 2.1+

Alex: I haven't used the plugin specifically with Google but it should be possible to construct an expression that will do what you want:

(.*)\?gclid=XXX

Should match any URL with gclid=XXX.

By insert the tracking code do you mean insert it into redirected URLs?

Thanks!

What I really meant was a) can I use redirection to redirect everchanging URLs to the same place. With your suggestion, I think I can. And b). I want to add some JavaScript to the page that redirects, not the target page. Is that possible?

Hi.
Great plugin !

Yet, I have a BUG:
when trying to redirect:
http://www.humus101.com/EN
to
humus101.com/EN

And it didn't work. (using WP 2.1.3) - for some reason - no page was loaded...

(It is currently turned off)
Any Idea what to check or how to solve ?

Tal.

Tal, if you want to remove the www from a URL then you'll need to use the 'root domain' option from the Options menu.

John, can you help me once again?

Is there a way to convert Wordpress default "?p=xxx" links to permalink structure?

I think I had that on my last Wordpress installation but now I don't see it working... Is it possible with your plugin?
