Redirection Plugin

Traffic sign says 'Detour'.

Redirection allows you to manage all your 301 redirects and monitor 404 errors. With Redirection, you don’t have to edit your .htaccess file directly – you can create and manage redirects from inside your WordPress website’s admin backend. It’s easy to install, configure and use:

To install, follow these instructions. Make sure you don’t have another redirect plugin installed or else plan on transferring those redirects to this new plugin, then deactivating and uninstalling the old redirect plugin.
