Redirection Plugin Problem With Latest WP Version!

Hello,

I am one of the users of the redirection plugin.

The problem is that I found out it conflicts with the new upgrade of wordpress.

Thing is, once you upgrade, you need to rename the plugin folder from “redirection” to anything like maybe “redirection2” to be able to view your website normally without any error showing up like:

“Call to undefined method Redirection::_weak_escape() in /home/username/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 487”

I’ve been holding back on upgrading my wp version because of that.. so I got stuck with my old version for a long time.

However, recently and due to the huge amount of link spam and exploits to the old version, I had to upgrade my wp.

Now I can’t use the redirection plugin and all of my links are not working.

I tried editing the redirection.php file to change the “redirection/redirection.php” folder path name to “redirection2/redirection.php” but no use… still error persists.

I would really appreciate any help you can provide me at this moment…

I’m losing a lot because of that… and just thinking about the number of links I need to re-edit should I not be using the redirection plugin, gives me a headache!

Thanks for your help!
