Are you saying that you were using VK Link Target Controller on your old site, and although you’ve imported the post data into the new site, the redirect URLs that were entered into VK Link Target Controller haven’t been migrated?
The redirect URL is saved in the custom field vk-ltc-link.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I don’t know which plugin was used on the old site; I only have the database. I wanted to know where on the new site I can find the field to enter the URL I want to transfer. I’ll search for vk-ltc-link in the database and try to point these URLs to that field.
Thank you very much.
The VK Link Target Controller is intended for use when you want to redirect individual posts to different URLs. Therefore, it is not suitable for processing bulk redirects for a large number of posts.
A plugin like Redirection would be more appropriate for that purpose.

Hi, I actually use this plugin to redirect individual posts to URLs. I created a site where individual posts point directly to a PDF file. Your plugin is the best, easy to use, and simple. My old site does the same thing, but it uses an older plugin that’s a bit difficult to use.

Hi, I can confirm that pointing the PDF file URLs to the vk-ltc-link database entry worked. Thanks so much for your help!
