One of my more successful plugins, and the first one that I wrote, is now out there in the 1.60 version. I improved the way it works, using what I have learned in other projects to update it. It now will match things like words with accents. I also use the WordPress functions to massage the slug and try one last hit on the db for the fixed-up slug before doing the search. This fixed a bug when the slug was only one word long.
I have been experimenting with WP-MU so this plugin now is aware of MU installations and it has the option to run everything from the main blog, including all of the statistics. I just now noticed a bug in MU in the log. It has a relative link instead of an absolute link and this makes it hard to see which blog caused the 301 or 404. I have to prepend the current blog url onto the link. I’ll do that in 1.70 when everything calms down.
So far there have been a couple of hundred downloads and no complaints. I need bugs people! Tell me what is wrong so I can fix it.
It is configurable to a 301, 302, etc. It can also display the page as is as a 200.
I’ve installed this plugin and it works as advertised. Just curious, does this accomplish an actual 301 redirect?
This plugin was a brilliant solution! thank you—works perfectly!
Don’t forget give me a few a stars on WordPress.org, buy the book, or at least write a great Amazon review of the book if you can’t find time to read.
Thanks,
Keith
Works like a charm. Was tired of Google stripping out my category tage in the URL leaving only an ugly 404 page.
