No Server Stress: Optimized for shared hosting and large databases using smart AJAX batching. Usage Step 1: Search for Items Use the dashboard to find the content you want to delete. Match Logic: Choose how strictly you want to match your keywords: Exact Match: Only matches items with the exact title. Contains (Partial): Matches items containing the keyword. Starts With: Matches items beginning with the keyword. Search In: Auto: Searches all supported content types. SKU / Name: Restrict search to specific fields (useful for products). Language (Optional): If you use WPML or Polylang, select a specific language to filter results. Include Media: Check this if you also want to search for Media Library items. Enter Keywords: Type your search terms in the text area (one keyword per line). Do not use commas to separate terms. Click “Start Smart Search”. Step 2: Review Results & Translations The plugin displays found items with intelligent options. Review Items: check the list of found items. Automatic Redirects: The plugin automatically suggests a redirect target (usually the item’s Parent Category). This ensures users landing on the deleted URL are guided to a relevant page instead of a 404 error. Toggle Redirect: Uncheck the box in the “301” column if you strictly want a 404 for a specific item. Multilingual Sync: If an item has translations, they will appear nested below the main item. They are selected by default. Uncheck any translation you wish to keep while deleting the main item. Click “Add to Cart” (or “Add All to Cart”) to stage them for deletion. Step 3: Process Deletion Finalize the cleanup. Review your “Cart” on the right side of the screen. Click “MOVE TO TRASH & REDIRECT”. Confirm the action. The items will be deleted (moved to trash or permanently deleted based on WordPress settings) and the 301 redirects will be created instantly. Step 4: History * The “History” table at the bottom shows recently deleted items and their active redirect targets.
