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. * **Folder redirection** — move an entire directory and all its content in one rule. * Redirect `index.php`, `index.html`, and `index.htm`. * Add redirects directly from the post/page editor via the **Redirection Box**. * Quick-add redirects from the WordPress admin toolbar. * **Redirect-loop detection** prevents `ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS` at both save-time and runtime. #### 404 Error Tracking * Automatic discovery and logging of every 404 hit on your site. * Fix **Google Search Console** crawl errors (404 & soft 404) without leaving WordPress. * One-click “convert this 404 into a redirect”. * Full IP, browser, OS, country, and referrer data for every error. #### Conditional & Advanced Redirects * Redirect based on **login status**, **referrer**, or to **random pages**. * Redirect any URL — not just non-existent ones. * Full support for emojis and international URLs. * Campaign-link redirects (works correctly with `fbclid`, `utm_source`, `gclid`,` msclkid`, etc.). #### Logging & Statistics * **Hit counts** and **last-access timestamps** for every redirect. * Complete redirect history — searchable, sortable, exportable. * Per-redirect statistics show when, where, and how often a URL was hit. #### Import & Export * Import existing rules from the popular **“Redirection”** plugin. * Full import/export to keep staging and production environments in sync. #### Multi-language Support * **WPML** integration for multilingual sites. #### Privacy & GDPR * Configurable IP logging — collect full, partial, or no IP data to match the legal requirements of your region. #### Compatibility * WordPress **4.1** **6.9+** * PHP **7.0** **8.4** #### PRO Version Need more?

Go to **Plugins Add New** 2. Search for **“SEO Redirection”** 3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate** You can find full details on the [plugin installation page](https://www.wp-buy.com/how-to-install-our-plugins/). ## FAQ ### Why use this plugin instead of editing .htaccess directly? Editing `.htaccess` is 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 `.htaccess` can 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](https://www.wp-buy.com/product/seo-redirection-premium-wordpress-plugin/). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f6f328b6830ad80ed753772f7e6699338e7b5c745e935bb29be0a7dd36412463? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-7192/)󠁿 [Abdullah Aldeghaim](https://profiles.wordpress.org/medstore17/) September 17, 2025 Good plugin, it does the job. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c89cfaa2dfff6c99c1ff87f275c54da01cf5e5785577474709ef88eefc111b87? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[not working in facebook due to fbclid](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-in-facebook-due-to-fbclid/)󠁿 [mhjhafeezz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mhjhafeezz/) July 7, 2023 Hi. your plugin is great but not working if use link in facebook. fbclid cause ur seo redirection not working and link 404 error not found.Kindly test when link used in facebook post. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/66cdb995bac281195ee0e18a3cb41171b9772f592d3cb548697698e46d20538d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent with WPML](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-with-wpml/)󠁿 [VinxTheLinx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vinxthelinx/) October 3, 2022 1 reply it’s the only plugin that solved my WPML pages redirect problem to another domain ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8695872ce5ea00b9ac40c0d55be4eeabc8001c636917afc698c603e8427536db? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Whats difference between the free and the paid?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whats-difference-between-the-free-and-the-paid/)󠁿 [cookiedough312](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cookiedough312/) March 17, 2021 So where is the list that tells you the difference between the free and the paid?

We are working on re-developing the site and need the information. If you can please help, that would be greatly appreciated. I am unable to call the phone number since it is in Palestine, so e-mail is the preferred means of communication. Thank you, kindly.
