WPCOM Legacy Redirector plugin
With the WPCOM Legacy Redirector plugin, site managers can create redirects for old, or legacy, URLs which now return 404
HTTP response status codes.
There are three ways to create redirects:
- WP Admin — visit the Redirect Manager -> Add Redirect WP Admin screen and add redirects individually.
- WP-CLI and CSV — create redirects in bulk using a CSV file with the following mapping structure:
redirect_from_path,(redirect_to_post_id|redirect_to_path|redirect_to_url)
. - Post Meta Fields — provide the
meta_key
for posts where the legacy URLs are stored.
Be sure to review the documentation. Please contact us before using this plugin to verify your redirect strategy.
