Finding Old Redirects

    Hi guys,

    It’s been a while since I needed to mess about with redirects, as Google doesn’t seem to be sending them over anymore – the vast amount of redirects that it USED to send, that it took around an hour per day to fix have all but disappeared now.

    So, I went into my Redirection control panel and it’s really changed a lot, hasn’t it?

    No results (redirects) in any of the ‘redirects’, ‘groups’, or ‘logs’, and a huge amount of redirects in the 404s section, all sectioned by dates, and it looks as though the Redirection plugin is finding redirects on auto-pilot now!

    Anyway, what I really wanted to find out was this:

    I reckon that the last time I needed to go into the plugin was to redirect AMP pages back to normal ones by using /(.*)\/amp in the source code field and https://my-website.com/$1 in the ‘target url’ field.

    The above codes seem to have disappeared now though, and I was wondering if redirections now have a time-limit as to how long they’re active for?

    Thanks for any info!

    The plugin doesn’t have any auto-pilot mode. If you configure it to monitor changes to post URLs then it may create redirects based on that. The 404 log shows 404 errors, not redirects, and this is based on your site.

    There is no time limit on redirects, and nothing is deleted unless you delete it.

    Ah hang on then, it might be due to me having migrated my website a few months ago to a new URL, and no redirects have needed to be added since then.

    And yes, on closer inspection, the majority of 404s are to my login page, presumably from hackers trying to access my hidden logon URL.
