## Description

Safely manage your site’s redirects the WordPress way. There are many redirect plugins
available. Most of them store redirects in the options table or in custom tables.
Most of them provide tons of unnecessary options. Some of them have serious performance
implications (404 error logging). Safe Redirect Manager stores redirects as Custom
Post Types. This makes your data portable and your website scalable. Safe Redirect
Manager is built to handle enterprise level traffic and is used on major publishing
websites. The plugin comes with only what you need following the WordPress mantra,
decisions not options. Actions and filters make the plugin very extensible.

[Fork the plugin on GitHub.](https://github.com/10up/safe-redirect-manager)

### Configuration

There are no overarching settings for this plugin. To manage redirects, navigate
to the administration panel (“Tools” > “Safe Redirect Manager”).

Each redirect contains a few fields that you can utilize:

### “Redirect From”

This should be a path relative to the root of your WordPress installation. When 
someone visits your site with a path that matches this one, a redirect will occur.
If your site is located at `http://example.com/wp/` and you wanted to redirect `
http://example.com/wp/about` to `http://example.com`, your “Redirect From” would
be `/about`.

Clicking the “Enable Regex” checkbox allows you to use regular expressions in your
path. There are many [great tutorials](http://www.regular-expressions.info) on regular
expressions.

You can also use wildcards in your “Redirect From” paths. By adding an `*` at the
end of a URL, your redirect will match any request that starts with your “Redirect
From”. Wildcards support replacements. This means if you have a wildcard in your
from path that matches a string, you can have that string replace a wildcard character
in your “Redirect To” path. For example, if your “Redirect From” is `/test/*`, your“
Redirect To” is `http://google.com/*`, and the requested path is `/test/string`,
the user would be redirect to `http://google.com/string`.

### “Redirect To”

This should be a path (i.e. `/test`) or a URL (i.e. `http://example.com/wp/test`).
If a requested path matches “Redirect From”, they will be redirected here. “Redirect
To” supports wildcard and regular expression replacements.

### “HTTP Status Code”

[HTTP status codes](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html) are 
numbers that contain information about a request (i.e. whether it was successful,
unauthorized, not found, etc). You should almost always use either 302 (temporarily
moved) or 301 (permanently moved).

_Note:_

 * Redirects are cached using the Transients API. Cache busts occur when redirects
   are added, updated, and deleted so you shouldn’t be serving stale redirects.
 * By default the plugin only allows at most 1000 redirects to prevent performance
   issues. There is a filter `srm_max_redirects` that you can utilize to up this
   number.
 * “Redirect From” and requested paths are case insensitive by default.
 * Developers can use `srm_additional_status_codes` filter to add status codes if
   needed.
 * Rules set with 403 and 410 status codes are handled by applying the HTTP status
   code and render the default WordPress `wp_die` screen with an optional message.
 * Rules set with a 404 status code will apply the status code and render the 404
   template.
 * Browsers heavily cache 301 (permanently moved) redirects. It’s recommended to
   test your permanent redirects using the 302 (temporarily moved) status code before
   changing them to 301 permanently moved.

### Developer Documentation

Safe Redirect Manager includes a number of actions and filters developers can make
use of. These are documented on the [Safe Redirect Manager developer documentation](http://10up.github.io/safe-redirect-manager/)
micro-site.

I was looking for Yoast Redirect alternative that would work to redirect query strings
URLs shown in the Search Console. I am amazed to see that it does the work while
no other plugin I tried was able to do it. So, this plugin is awesome!!

Perdón. Ha sido un error por mi parte. Sí aparece en la lista de plugins, solo que
como aparecía con el nombre en español: “Administrador de redirecciones seguras”
no lo encontraba en la lista por “Safe Redirection Manager”. Disculpas de nuevo.

Simplesmente não funciona. Embora tenha o aviso que tem conflito com o All In one
SEO, o AIO tem a ferramenta de redirecionamento somente na versão PRO, e é desativada
na versão gratuíta (que eu uso). Porém, mesmo assim, instalando o Safe Redirect 
Manager não é criado o menu “Ferramentas” > “Safe Redirect Manager”, e portanto 
simplesmente não tem como acessar a página de configuração do plugin.
