Title: Plugin withdrawn from WordPress Last modified: February 28, 2020 --- # Plugin withdrawn from WordPress * [Manni02](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manni02/) * (@manni02) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/) * Hello, * It looks like the plugin has been temporarily withdrawn from wordpress.org. * Please could you let us know why, and when it will be available again? * If there is any vulnerability, please advise on whether the plugin should be disabled or not. * Thank you!

Thank you. * [gillico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gillico/) * (@gillico) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-12494675) * The developer’s website is not responding… not a good sign. * [Josh Hartman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshhartman/) * (@joshhartman) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-12494939) * +1 Also interested in the reason behind the removal. * [jbmaca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbmaca/) * (@jbmaca) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-12494972) * Hopefully this gets resolved soon. - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [jbmaca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbmaca/). Reason: Removed link to competitor plugin * Thread Starter [Manni02](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manni02/) * (@manni02) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-12494990) * I didn’t want to take a risk any longer, so I’ve uninstalled the plugin and installed another one that had been updated more recently. * 6 months without an update is a long time, and not replying promptly to such a support question isn’t right. * I know it’s the week-end, but still. * Looks like the plugin is abandoned by now, so moving on… * [jbmaca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbmaca/) * (@jbmaca) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-12495001) * [@manni02](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manni02/) Can I ask which plugin you installed? Was it easy to switch? * [Jos Klever](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josklever/) * (@josklever) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-12495003) * Which alternative did you choose? * Thread Starter [Manni02](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manni02/) * (@manni02) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-12495012) * It doesn’t feel right to post a link to the competition in this thread, even in the current situation, but if you search for “redirection” when adding a plugin from wordpress you’ll find a few alternatives with good feedback and recently updated. * It took me a few minutes to replace this plugin, but I only had two custom redirections. It will take a bit more time if you have more, but it’s worth getting the peace of mind. * Good luck! - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [Manni02](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manni02/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [Manni02](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manni02/). * [Jon Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jb510/) * (@jb510) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-12941362) * There is no “competition” between free plugins… * There are many good alternatives to this: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/) is simple, been around a long time and very popular. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-post-redirect/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-post-redirect/) is new, also good. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/) is complex and powerful… not really a direct replacement. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-redirect-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-redirect-manager/) again great, but complex and not really a direct replacement. * [manonat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manonat/) * (@manonat) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-12946288) * Today I found the plugin without an edit button. There is a notification to enable jQuery. * [Jasonian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonian/) * (@jasonian) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-13096517) * It was removed for security reasons, because a Contributor could potentially set up a redirect to an external website. If you don’t have anyone else registered on your site, and you have automatic registration turned off, there is no risk to you. * [Jasonian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonian/) * (@jasonian) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-13097053) * I have a patched version that doesn’t allow anyone who is not an admin to add a redirect. * You can browse the change (I copied the original plugin code, then submitted a PR with the security fixes). The main directory has a .zip that you can download. * [https://github.com/jhaeger/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin](https://github.com/jhaeger/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin) * [waylayer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waylayer/) * (@waylayer) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-13211130) * [@jasonian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonian/) thank you! * the developer is here again i think! that’s a great news! this plugin save me a lot of times. * [Jasonian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonian/) * (@jasonian) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-withdrawn-from-wordpress/#post-13213789) * [@waylayer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waylayer/) My pleasure! I have to still use it (way too deep to change now!) and patching was the only way. * Looks like it!
