Redirectioner

Fans call it the best 404 tool they've used, while others report redirects vanishing on their own, blank 404 pages, a WooCommerce endpoint conflict, and an author who's told at least one user the plugin isn't supported anymore.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 91% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 6 months ago; the previous band took 18 months to cross, which places it about 68% of the way through.

   The functionality this plugin offers is incredible. More useful than any of the paid plugins I’ve purchased. Please ensure you keep updating this – I think you can have a real powerhouse here, along the lines of Yoast etc.

   After spending a considerate amount adding old URL’s they just disappeared for no reason. Also, the plugin does not capture any 404 URL’s.

   This plugin is not reliable at all. Many times I have set 404 redirects in this plugin only to come back a few days later and find all redirects gone.

   Was broken after 1.4.2, but 1.4.3 fixed it. Thank you for the great support, this is definitely the best 404 Plugin! (For some reason this site shows my rating as 2 stars, it should be 5 stars…)

   The plugin author has never demonstrated much interest in maintaining the plugin but some kind soul seems to have taken it upon themselves to fork it to fix a security issue: https://github.com/GDKeller/404-redirected. I used 404 Redirected with much success for several years, several years ago, but had recently uninstalled it. I am trying it on a staging site; when I activated it, there was a warning banner, “The plugin generated 693 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.” but otherwise no noticeable ill effects and the plugin seems to do what it has been designed to do. Obviously, your mileage may vary. Fingers x’d
