## Installation

 1. Upload the `lh-response-handler` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate or network activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. If the plugin is activated normally a menu item Respones will appear on your tools
    menu of your site, if it is network activated this menu item will only appear on
    the main site.

## FAQ

### Why is this plugin better than the alternatives?

Unlike the alterantives this plugin does not add any tables to your database. It
also handles multiple tatus codes (not all plugins have this feature) and can work
at the network level if you are using multisite.

### Does the plugin require a multisite installation?

No it works on both a single install and multisite

### Does this plugin behave differently when networked activated?

Yes when network activated the you can only set redirects on the main site of the
multisite, those redirects you set however are applied to all sites within the multisite.

### What is something does not work?

LH Response Handler, and all [https://lhero.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-response-handler/LocalHero?output_format=md)
plugins are made to WordPress standards. Therefore they should work with all well
coded plugins and themes. However not all plugins and themes are well coded (and
this includes many popular ones).

If something does not work properly, firstly deactivate ALL other plugins and switch
to one of the themes that come with core, e.g. twentyfirteen, twentysixteen etc.

If the problem persists pleasse leave a post in the support forum: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-response-handler/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-response-handler/).
I look there regularly and resolve most queries.

### Are there any other requirements?

This plugin relies on the [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_body_open/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-response-handler/wp_body_open?output_format=md)
hook. 98% of themes include it and it is now a standard. If yours does not, create
a child theme, or get a better theme.
