Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records FallbackRedirect version 1.0.0 as active, updated 20d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
FallbackRedirect keeps old URLs working after you rename pages, move a site, or delete content. It stores redirect rules, serves 301 / 302 / 307 responses on the front end, and logs unique 404s so you can turn the worst broken links into redirects.
Under Settings → FallbackRedirect you get six tabs:
Overview — open 404s, redirect hits, a 14-day chart, and the top broken links
Redirects — add, edit, disable, or delete rules (exact, prefix, wildcard, or regex)
404s — grouped broken links with hit counts, last referrer, one-click repair, ignore, and CSV export
Migration — CSV import/export and automatic 301s when a published permalink changes
Settings — engine, monitor, privacy, retention, and uninstall cleanup
About — plugin info and version
How SEO protection works:
Front-end matching runs on template_redirect before the theme 404 template
Exact rules are looked up by hash; prefix, wildcard, and regex rules are checked next
Changing a published post or page permalink can auto-create a 301 from the old path
Looping rules (same source and destination on this site) are rejected
Admin, login, and cron paths cannot be used as sources
404s ignore bots, logged-in users, static file extensions,.php probes, and wp-includes / plugin / theme scans by default
IP addresses are stored as a salted hash, not in the clear
