## Disgrifiad

Changing your link structure in WordPress can lead to all of your old links breaking
and returning a “404”. But no more! If someone goes to an old link for your site,
I’ll find the new link and redirect them there automatically.

No configuration. No one-by-one setting of the new link structures. No wrestling
with complicated regex patterns. Just install me and relax.

_Redirect 404s_ works with posts, pages, and custom post types (like ecommerce products).

 * Note – the plugin only works for permalink structures where the last “chunk” 
   of the URL is the post name (also called the slug).

## Gosod

 1. Upload the plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu
 3. Done!

## Cwestiynau Cyffredin

  How do I configure the plugin?

No configuration necessary! I automatically tests all 404 links to see if they might
resolve to an existing post. If I find a post that matches, I’ll just redirect the
visitor to that post.

  How do you know when a post matches?

I take the last “chunk” of the URL and assume it’s a post name. Then I search for
any posts with that name. If I find one, I redirect the user to the post I found.
Since I use this method, I won’t work for _all_ permalink structures. But the vast
majority end in the post name, so I’ll work just fine on most sites.

Examples:
 * /2017/02/this-is-the-last-chunk/ * /announcements/this-is-the-last-
chunk/

  Do you work with custom post types like ecommerce products?

Sure do! I’ll search all public post types for the post name to see if I find one.

### 󠀁[Finally a 301 plugin which works and don’t need any setup](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/finally-a-301-which-works-and-dont-need-any-setup/)󠁿

I was looking for about 3 hours for a plugin, which can redirect all sites if you
change the permalinks structure in WordPress. After 5 plugins I almost gave up, 
because none of them worked if you have another direction of your WordPress installation
or if you have a multi lingual blog (permalinks with /de/ or /en/). But with this
plugin everything works! And I haven’t configured anything… just installed it and
it worked! It’s just amazing!
