User sentiment analysis

Users generally appreciate the WordPress plugin for its ease of use, robust features, and reliability in managing redirects. The plugin simplifies the process of setting up redirects, which is essential for site migrations and restructuring. Users find the import and export features particularly helpful for bulk URL updates, and the logging functionality for tracking 404 errors is highly valued. The free nature of the plugin and excellent support also stand out. However, some users experienced issues, such as conflicts with the REST-API, website security alerts, and occasional "too many redirects" errors. While generally stable, the plugin can cause site disruptions for some, leading to deactivation as a precaution.

Die REST-API lässt es zu, die Usernamen spionieren. Der Versuch, diese Sicherheitslücke zu schließen mit Filter entfernt wichtige Informationen für den Zugriff von außen, führt dazu, dass Redirection nicht mehr funktioniert. Der Entwickler des Filters gibt an, dass Plugins mit diesem Filter die REST-API nutzen können – es funktioniert aber nicht.

Al geruime tijd krijg ik van sommige mensen de melding dat mijn website als gevaarlijk wordt beschouwd. Zelfs toen ik via mijn website naar deze plugin pagina ging kreeg ik die melding. Via mijn nieuwe pagina kreeg ik te horen dat dit met een redirect te maken kon hebben. Bijv. van www naar zonder www oid. Ik heb mijn redirection linkjes gecontroleerd. Overbodige weggehaald. Maar vanavond een shortcut aangemaakt. Maar mensen die op die shortcut klikten, kregen te zien dat de pagina niet zichtbaar werd. Dus… ik heb de plugin eraf gegooid. En ga zonder redirects voortaan mijn site doen. Ik heb er niets aan als mensen vervolgens allerlei meldingen krijgen terwijl er niets aan de hand is met mijn website. En of dat in combinatie is met het thema (Consulting) dat ik heb. Geen idee. Maar Redirection doet iets, wat sommige browsers/providers als schadelijk zien.

Simple to use and easy to configure but very powerful nonetheless.

I’ve used this plugin since 2019, when I moved from a straight HTML site design to WordPress for a 10-year-old website. It has saved me from having migraines over search engines directing visitors to the old pages! Well done, Mr. Godley. Well done. This topic was modified 1 month ago by duriologist.
