FAQ

Upload the speedy-page-redirect folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.

Yes. By default “page”, “post” and all public custom post types are taken into account. You can customize this selection via the gdd_spr_post_types filter. It should return an array with the applicable post types.

Example:

add_filter( 'gdd_spr_post_types', 'gdd_spr_post_types' ); function gdd_spr_post_types( $post_types ) {     // Disable redirection for the "book" post type     unset( $post_types['book'] );     return $post_types; }

Yes. By default you can choose from a 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) redirect. To customize this list, a filter called gdd_spr_statuses is available. It should return an array with the keys corresponding to the HTTP response codes. The array values are descriptions used in the dropdown list.

Note: if the statuses list only contains a single entry, the dropdown list is automatically omitted from the meta box.

Example:

add_filter( 'gdd_spr_statuses', 'gdd_spr_statuses' ); function gdd_spr_statuses( $statuses ) {     // Remove temporary redirection from the list     unset( $statuses[302] );     return $statuses; }
