FAQ
-
Does this plugin slow down my website?
-
No! RM Smart Redirects is highly optimized and only runs when a 404 error occurs. It uses efficient database queries and caching to minimize performance impact.
-
What’s the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
-
- 301 (Permanent): Use this when a page has permanently moved. Search engines transfer SEO value to the new URL.
- 302 (Temporary): Use this for temporary redirects. Search engines don’t transfer SEO value.
For SEO purposes, use 301 redirects in most cases.
-
Can I redirect to external URLs?
-
Yes! You can redirect to any external URL (e.g.,
https://example.com). The plugin automatically detects and handles external redirects. -
Does it work with custom post types?
-
Yes! The plugin works with all post types including custom post types, pages, and WooCommerce products.
-
How does the hierarchical fallback work?
-
If someone visits
/blog/category/post-title/and it doesn’t exist, the plugin will:
1. Check for an exact redirect
2. Try/blog/category/(parent)
3. Try/blog/(grandparent)
4. Log as 404 if no fallback foundThis prevents unnecessary 404 errors while maintaining user experience.
-
Can I bulk import redirects?
-
Yes! Use the Tools > Import feature to upload a CSV file with your redirects. Format:
source_url,target_url,type,status
/old-page,/new-page,301,active -
Does it detect when I change a post slug?
-
Yes! The plugin automatically creates a redirect when you change a post or page slug, ensuring no broken links.
-
How do I upgrade to PRO?
-
Visit razibmarketing.com to purchase the PRO add-on. It installs alongside the free version and adds premium features.
-
Is it compatible with multisite?
-
Yes, RM Smart Redirects works on WordPress multisite installations. Each site has its own redirect rules.
-
Where is my data stored?
-
All redirect rules and 404 logs are stored in your WordPress database using custom tables (
rmsmart_redirectsandrmsmart_404_logs, prefixed with your database prefix).
