What do you want to see in version 2.0.0?

  • Good evening, everyone!

    I’ve made the decision that version 1.X.X will be dedicated to just bug fixes that were carried over from the last iteration of this plugin.

    Version 2.0.0 will be a complete restructuring of the entire code base to clean it up and separate it out a bit, coding-wise, and will come with a brand new interface. This version will eliminate the sub-menu pop out (everything handled via an in-page tabbed navigation system), and will also include the ability to allow standard WordPress roles to have access to the redirects tab (standard WordPress user roles), and the ability to “see” redirects on a page or post edit screen.

    By adding user roles, you will have to make SURE you trust the members of your site’s posting community, otherwise, they could use this feature maliciously.

    All that said, what other features would you like to see come on-board?

  • Thanks so much for picking up this plugin. I was stunned to see it hasn’t been updated in years.

    If possible, bulk imports through a comma-delimited CSV file (source url,redirect url) would be amazing. Right now it requires pipe-delimited.

    Also, the 404 logging option in the Redirection plugin is super handy.

    @contentjones, I’ll see what we can do about comma-delimited. While uncommon, commas can be used in URLs, so I suspect that’s why the original version of this plugin opted for the pipe character. I’ll have to do a bit of digging into that.

    As for the 404 logging… I’ll have to think about that. Logging 404 errors, especially on a busy site, could be extremely database intensive, even if the database tables are set as INNODb (vs MyISAM). And could potentially blow up with a huge table inside the database. As a WP developer, I’m hesitant to add any features that could cause potential slowdown issues. I’m not going to say “no” to that, of course, but that it would have to be thought through *very* carefully. ??

    I echo the gratitude of other posters for “picking up the ball” and carrying on with development.

    One feature I’d like to see added is an option to disregard select redirects for specific user roles (i.e if administrator logged in, then ignore page redirect).

    I use the plugin in part to work on portions of sites I don’t want to yet make public. I redirect to a “coming soon” page in those instances. Currently, I have to toggle the redirect on/off to view page updates as I work.

    Thanks again for your very helpful efforts in maintaining and extending this very useful tool.

    @limitless_design, guess what I found yesterday?

    Head to the FAQs on the front page of the site and look at the answer for “If I have a redirect in place, can I view the original page during testing?”.

    That being said, I’m going to try to allow for a per page/post bypass feature. ??

    This will be in version 2.0.0.

    Suggestion from @tusharattar:
    Allow access based on user role capabilities.

    it would also b very nice if the summary table could be sorted…i use https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/table-sorter/ which could be enabled on line 801:

    <table class="form-table qform-table tablesorter" width="100%">

    but of course plugins don’t work in the admin pages;-} perhaps an include?
