Redirect Manager
Full redirect manager—exact, pattern, and regex rules, plus bulk and import/export.
Overview
Redirect Manager lets you create and manage 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) redirects. Redirect old URLs to new ones after migrations, restructures, or content moves. Support for exact match, regex, query strings, and conditions. Manage redirects from a dedicated admin page. Redirects are processed early for performance. Essential for SEO when URLs change.
Who is this for?
Site owners, developers, and SEOs who need to redirect old URLs to new ones after migrations, restructures, or content moves. Essential for preserving link equity and user experience.
Features
301 and 302 Redirects
301 for permanent moves (SEO-friendly). 302 for temporary redirects.
Exact and Regex
Match exact URLs or use regex for pattern-based redirects.
Query String Support
Optionally match or ignore query parameters.
Redirect Rules
Add source URL (or pattern) and destination. Set redirect type. Save.

How It Works
1
Enable the Module
Go to WP PowerSuite, find "Redirect Manager," and click the Enable button.
2
Add Redirects
Go to WP PowerSuite, Redirect Manager. Add source URL and destination. Choose 301 or 302. Save.
3
Test
Visit the old URL. Confirm you are redirected to the new URL. Check status code with a redirect checker tool.
Performance Note
Redirects are processed early (e.g. template_redirect or parse_request). Rules are typically cached. Minimal overhead. Order matters: more specific rules should come before generic ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 301 and 302?
301 tells search engines the move is permanent; link equity passes to the new URL. 302 is temporary; use for short-term redirects.
Can I use wildcards?
Check if the module supports regex. Many redirect managers support wildcards or regex for pattern-based redirects.
Troubleshooting
- Redirect not workingEnsure the source URL matches exactly (including trailing slash). Check rule order. Clear cache. Verify no other plugin or server config overrides the redirect.
