Title: Is the redirection plugin required? Last modified: December 16, 2023 --- # Is the redirection plugin required? * [Ron the Web Guy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronthewebguy/) * (@ronthewebguy) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-the-redirection-plugin-required/) * Is the redirection plugin (shown on the Phoenix Media Rename Settings page) required when renaming images? I installed this plugin and renamed 1 image as a test. The page using that 1 image shows a missing image. Source code still shows the img link to the old image name and not the new image name. Dump/flushed sever cache and tried many different browsers.Rank Math SEO plugin sees this image name change as a 404.

What is the ETA for the BB fix? * Plugin Author [crossi72](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crossi72/) * (@crossi72) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-the-redirection-plugin-required/#post-17285588) * I don’t even know if it will be possible to resolve the issue on my side, because I don’t know where Beaver Builder stores the page information and the support team doesn’t have a public email address for support questions, they accept only tickets from registered users. * I asked another user to open a ticket requesting their support to resolve the issue (Phoenix Media Rename notify other plugins when a file is renamed), but I don’t know if they are willing to cooperate. * I’ll try to resolve the issue on my side, but I don’t know if this will be possible without the help of Beaver Builder support team. * C. * [Simon Prosser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pross/) * (@pross) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-the-redirection-plugin-required/#post-17285612) * >  and the support team doesn’t have a public email address for support questions, > they accept only tickets from registered users. * There is a link in the footer on every page of the Beaver Builder website for the contact form and every page of the community forums not sure how you missed it. * There is also a support area like this one for the free version hosted here. * All layout data is stored in a page’s post meta. * Plugin Author [crossi72](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crossi72/) * (@crossi72) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-the-redirection-plugin-required/#post-17285680) * Hi [@pross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pross/), I didn’t miss the link, but the target page requires to be registered to write a message. * It seems that you are part of the support team, so I try to ask you: do you think you can fix the issue on your side, using the custom action documented here [https://www.eurosoftlab.com/en/phoenix-media-rename/#third-party](https://www.eurosoftlab.com/en/phoenix-media-rename/#third-party)? * Thank you C. * [Simon Prosser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pross/) * (@pross) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-the-redirection-plugin-required/#post-17285707) * Just checked th links again it deffo opens a contact form that is public you are probably clicking the support link not contact. * As Imentioned before BB stores image urls in the post meta datayou just have to load that scan through it do your replace and save it. * Plugin Author [crossi72](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crossi72/) * (@crossi72) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-the-redirection-plugin-required/#post-17297093) * Hi [@ronthewebguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronthewebguy/), I just released version 3.11.6 that adds compatibility with Beaver Builder Lite, let me know if you find other issues. * [@pross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pross/): can you tell me how can I check if Beaver Builder pro is active? * C. * [Simon Prosser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pross/) * (@pross) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-the-redirection-plugin-required/#post-17297107) * > can you tell me how can I check if Beaver Builder pro is active? * `FL_BUILDER_LITE` is set to `true` for lite version. * Thanks for adding support! * Thread Starter [Ron the Web Guy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronthewebguy/) * (@ronthewebguy) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-the-redirection-plugin-required/#post-17297703) * [@crossi72](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crossi72/) – Thanks.
