Try on this demo
What to check
Create or use a published rule, hit the old path on the front end, then open the 404 Log and URL Tester in the administrator to see how fixes and dry-runs work.
Rule engine
Exact, starts-with, wildcard, and regex with capture groups and status codes from 301 to 410.
Useful 404 log
Grouped hits, referrers, ignore lists, and one-click Fix with smart suggestions.
Alias watcher
Article, category, and menu renames create redirects so editors do not break inbound links.
Migration tools
CSV dry-run, core Redirect import, and optional Apache export for Super Users.
URL Tester
Dry-run any path against published rules before you cut over traffic.
Chain safety
Flatten A to B to C hops and refuse loops on save.
First-time setup
Four steps
- Install the package and keep both plugins Enabled
- Create a Published rule or Fix a 404 Log row
- Clear cache and hit the old URL on the front end
- Use URL Tester to confirm which rule wins
