WP Avertere

This plugin allows you to easily set up redirections from the URL of any post, page or other post type on your WordPress site to another URL, either on your site or external to your site. Redirections can either be permanent (HTTP 301) or temporary (HTTP 302) and can easily be changed or deleted entirely. Settings and options include: The URL you want to redirect to. The type of redirection, permanent or temporary Validation of the redirect URL to ensure it is well formed. In addition to setting up a redirect, the plugin replaces the original post’s or page’s permalink with the redirected permalink or external URL; when you hover your mouse pointer over a redirected permalink you will see the new permalink or external URL not the original. Once installed and activated, the plugin adds a Redirect This Post/Page/etc meta box to the admin Edit Post/Page. Simply create a new post, or edit an existing one, add the URL you want to redirect to (copying and pasting is a good idea here to ensure there’s no typing errors), choose whether the redirection is permanent or temporary, click on the Check URL button to ensure your URL is well formed and save the post. You’re done. While the main use of the plugin is to redirect posts and pages, you can also use it to: Convert a post to a page; useful for when the post needs to be kept updated regularly and is more suited to be a page on your site. Add a menu bar link to an external site; you can create a new blank page as a menu bar link and then redirect that page to the external URL with no need to edit any code in your theme’s functions.php. Create a shortcut category or tag archive link; you can create a new blank page, such as /plugins and then redirect that page to /tags/plugins. Filter Support And Usage WP Avertere supports a single filter, wp_avertere_protocols that allows you to change the set of acceptable URL protocols that WordPress and the plugin permits. Example: Add support for GitHub repositories to the plugin. add_filter ('wp_avertere_protocols', 'add_github_protocol'); function add_github_protocol ($protocols) { // protocols = array ('name', 'name', ...) $protocols[] = 'git'; return $protocols; }

Frequently asked

Common questions about this comparison

Which has better reviews, LinkRail Redirects, 404 & Security or WP Avertere?

LinkRail Redirects, 404 & Security (5.0★, 1 reviews) and WP Avertere (5.0★, 1 reviews) are essentially tied on rating. Look at review velocity and individual reviewer quotes — both visible on each app's detail page — to differentiate.

Should I choose LinkRail Redirects, 404 & Security or WP Avertere?

AppRanks cannot recommend one over the other from published marketplace data: the WordPress Plugin Directory does not expose a rating or review base that separates them. Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown, and compare against your own requirements rather than a headline number.

Which is faster to set up, LinkRail Redirects, 404 & Security or WP Avertere?

Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly, and the WordPress Plugin Directory publishes no review base that would let us infer it for these two — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.

Which works better for small vs large WordPress Plugin Directory site owners?

LinkRail Redirects, 404 & Security typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (1 reviews). WP Avertere typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (1 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.

Can I migrate data between LinkRail Redirects, 404 & Security and WP Avertere?

Migration support varies by app and category. LinkRail Redirects, 404 & Security and WP Avertere both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from WP Avertere" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
