Define allowed routes for your website, all other routes will return a 404 error. Permalinks will be overruled.
Login, Backend routes and local files (like wp-login.php) are always available to prevent a lockout.
Also delete all your page caches after enabling to prevent unwanted routing behavior.
Use cases:
<ul>
<li>Absolute control over all permalinks</li>
<li>Prevent unwanted search engine indexing</li>
<li>Be sure no custom post type adds unwanted permalinks</li>
<li>No frontend needed</li>
</ul>
Important:
<ul>
<li>The routing overrules permalinks and works like a whitelist. Only correct entered routes will go through. You should test the routing before using on production environments</li>
<li>Be careful using several routing- or redirect plugins at the same time</li>
<li>Do not forget to delete all your page caches after enabling/disabling the routing to prevent unwanting routing behavior</li>
</ul>
Behaviour:
<ul>
<li>The used protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) will be ignored</li>
<li>GET params will be ignored</li>
<li>Routes are case sensitive</li>
</ul>
Syntax / Wildcards:
<ul>
<li>The route / allows the index page (Check the checkbox \”Allow index page\”)</li>
<li>Wildcard * allows a single term with an arbitrary value (e.g. category//page/)</li>
<li>Wildcard ** permits all possible combinations of terms (e.g. category/**) This wildcard is only allowed at the end of a route</li>
<li>Wildcards are only allowed as complete terms. Correct: /foo//bar/** Wrong: /foo/ba/test**</li>
</ul>
