    Hi

    This plugin works but I noticed that url are not rewrited if I add, for example, recent posts widget in sidebar.

    I have a page where there is list of custom posts (album). I used this plugin to rewrite url and it works. If I add this list to right sidebar using a widget, url are not rewrited. I mean that the link inside html is the originale one, but when I click it then it is rewrited

    Why?

    Thanks

    Hi gnorro,
    This plugin doesn’t actually change the URLs of existing content, it only directs the user’s browser to redirect to a different page if they try to visit a URL that you’ve configured a redirect for. If you want to change the URL of existing content, you should do that by editing the permalink itself. If you do that, you should also leave the redirect in place so anyone who visits the old URL ends up at the new URL.

    Scott
