WordPress redirection plugins help you ridirect one url to anther easily without having to do much manual script writing. You may need to redirect a url if you ever change your permalink structure, or you just newly migrated from blogger to wordpress. By now I believe you must have learnt how to scan your wordpress blog for malicious code using TAC and also how to protect it from hackers.

So here are Top 7 wordpress redirection plugins to redirect ur easily

Outline:

“The Permalink Finder Plugin detects when WordPress cannot find a permalink. Before it generates the 404 error the plugin tries to locate any posts with similar words. It does this by searching through the database trying to find any of the word values from the bad link. “

The plugin will also optionally keep track of the last few 404’s or redirects.
