How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I was looking for a solution for redirects until I found this plugin. Does exactly what is required. A perfect solution.

    I know this plugin hasn’t been updated in a couple years, but IMHO Groups and its related plugins (like this one) are a hidden gem for WordPress sites. So many people jump to complicated membership plugins when they could do everything they need with Groups. This 404 redirect add-on works like a charm. I’m using it on the latest version of WP 5.x

    I was getting redirect loops from non-authorized users trying to access restricted woocommerce pages… installed this plugin and set the option to redirecto the login page… and *BOOM* it works perfectly. Very groovy and simple plugin.

    Fast and easy to set up and works as it should. I made a new page saying “You don’t have permission to view this area.” and it redirects the user to that page if they are logged in but don’t have the correct rights to view the content. If the user is not logged in then the link will take the user to WP login page. Works out of the box with WP 4.9

    I love the option to select ‘Redirect to the WordPress login’ because when u select this option it will first redirect to WordPress login and then back to the page that the user was trying to visit, whatever that page may have been.

    Hi itthinx What would be really good would be to be able to redirect specific requests to specific pages or posts. e.g. I am setting up a membership site using woocommerce and woogroups with several membership levels and if a potential customer clicks on a link to a restricted page I would like to be able to redirect them to the relevant subscription product. Will this be possible ?
