Description
SEO Redirection is a complete redirect manager for WordPress. Create, edit, and track 301/302/307 redirects from a single dashboard — no FTP, no .htaccess editing, and no developer knowledge required.
Whether you are migrating a site, restructuring permalinks, cleaning up after a redesign, or recovering lost traffic from broken links, SEO Redirection keeps your old URLs pointing to the right destinations and your visitors out of dead ends.
Why use SEO Redirection?
- Protect your SEO ranking — redirects are created automatically whenever a post or page URL changes.
- Recover lost traffic — turn 404 errors into proper redirects with a single click.
- Migrate sites painlessly — redirect old paths, entire folders, or whole domains in bulk.
- Stay GDPR-compliant — configurable IP logging levels for every jurisdiction.
- Works on any host — pure WordPress, no Apache or Nginx configuration required.
Redirect Management
- Create 301, 302, and 307 redirects in a couple of clicks.
- Wildcard and regular-expression patterns to match many URLs at once.

- Redirect
index.php,index.html, andindex.htm. - Add redirects directly from the post/page editor via the Redirection Box.

FAQ
-
Why use this plugin instead of editing .htaccess directly?
-
Editing
.htaccessis error-prone — a single typo can take your site offline. SEO Redirection works entirely inside WordPress, requires no server access, and automatically creates redirects when you change a post or page URL. You also get full 404 tracking, hit counts, and visitor statistics that.htaccesscan never provide. -
Does it work on Nginx or LiteSpeed servers?
-
Yes. All redirects are handled by WordPress itself, so the plugin works on any server WordPress runs on — Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, IIS, and others.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
No. Redirects are looked up using the same mechanism WordPress uses for permalinks, with minimal overhead even on sites with thousands of rules.
-
Can I migrate from another redirect plugin?
-
Yes. You can import existing rules from the “Redirection” plugin directly from the Import/Export tab.
-
Does it support regular expressions and wildcards?
-
Yes — both. Use wildcards for simple pattern matching, or full regular expressions for fine-grained control.
-
Is it GDPR-compliant?
-
Yes. IP logging is fully configurable — store full IPs, anonymised IPs, or nothing at all, depending on your jurisdiction’s requirements.
-
Where can I get support or documentation?
-
Full documentation is available at the plugin knowledge base.
