Creating even conditional redirections has never been easier and quicker than with the Redirection plugin. Creating redirection has never been simpler, but for fine-tuning, you can use a wide choice of advanced options: Redirect HTTP codes can be 301, 302, 303, 304, 307 and 308; Inclusion and exclusion rules: logged in/out users, specific user role, user’s referrer link, user’s agent, user’s cookie, user’s IP, server, and language; Redirection rules: Simplified redirection rules as well as advanced RegEx matches – URLs that contain specific string to new or removed string, URLs that start with X, specific permalink structures, RegEx matches, and 404s. Setting redirection rules with several matching conditions is also possible; Managing all redirects comfortably – enable/disable, edit and delete redirects neatly listed in the plugin menu; ⭐️NEW! 404 page redirection to a Specific URL (e.g. homepage) or to a Random Similar Post; ⭐️NEW! Import/Export redirection lists (both Specific URL Redirections and Redirection Rules); ⭐️NEW! Redirection & 404 Logs – chronological log of all redirections and 404s with a one-click solution to add the redirection and fix the dead links; Automatic redirects, Change URL – these features are coming soon!

Smart DL Redirect is a lightweight and powerful WordPress plugin that lets you add a timer-based interstitial page before a file download starts. It’s perfect for: – Affiliate marketers – Download site owners – Resource-sharing blogs – Anyone who wants to delay download with ads or messages Once a visitor clicks a download link, they are redirected to a customizable “preparing download” page, where a timer counts down, shows ads or custom HTML, and then auto-redirects to the actual file. Important — redirect behavior: This plugin redirects the visitor’s browser to the file URL you provide — the plugin does not download, host, or proxy the file server-side. Authors should only supply links to files they trust. Ad/snippet sanitization: Any ad/snippet HTML entered in the plugin settings is sanitized using wp_kses_post() before output. Note that wp_kses_post() strips tags and other potentially dangerous elements — if your ad provider requires inline scripts, follow the provider’s recommended safe-install instructions or use a trusted ad plugin. ✨ Key Features ⏱️ Countdown Timer – Set the delay (in seconds) before download starts. 🎯 Auto-Redirect – Automatically starts the file download when timer ends. 🧰 Manual Fallback Link – If download fails, users can click a manual download link. 💡 Ad Placement or Custom HTML – Insert ads, promotional banners, or instructions in the waiting area. 🧩 Easy Shortcode Usage – Just add [smart_dl file="https://example.com/file.zip"] to any post or page. ⚙️ Lightweight and Fast – No external dependencies, optimized for performance.
