Postname Permalink Auto Redirect

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 98% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   No settings to configure. You just update your permalink structure and it just works. Brilliant.

   This is perfect plugin to reslove all issues when it comes to change permalink from %postname% to /%category%/%postname%/ this is the right plugin to use.

   I would like to say this is working, but it isn’t for me anymore. I used to backdate posts to 2013 to test them without them showing up on the homepage, but now when I change the date it doesn’t redirect the way it used to, it used to easily redirect from the 2017 to 2013 url and vise versa, but no more… please help! Example: http://url/2017/07/example-page > http://url/2013/07/example-page used to automatically redirect when I made date changes, now I get 404’s again… sad panda 🙁 I’m using WordPress 4.7.3 right now and it’s not working, when I have time to update the website to 4.8 I’ll be back with an update. Update: November 7th, 2017 – I have tested this plugin on multiple websites now and it flat out doesn’t work. I have to update my review to 1 star.

   I had to change the permalink structure to an old website having hundreds of posts from /%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/ and this is the only plugin I found that does exactly that, without any problems.
