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; }
