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>

Allowed Routes

Define only allowed routes for your website. Permalinks will be overruled. Wildcard Support.

WordPress on Routes is a plugin for WordPress, inspired mainly by Ruby micro-frameworks. It adds ability to add custom routes to your WordPress instance. Useful for form submissions, API-like features, etc.
This plugin allows you to:
<ol>
<li>Add custom routes to your WordPress installation</li>
<li>Set method GET/POST/DELETE etc.</li>
<li>Set body (as text, or template) or action (using add/do_action). If both are defined, <code>action</code> takes precedence over <code>body</code>.</li>
<li>Set header (e.g. ‘Content-Type’ => ‘text/html; charset=UTF-8’)</li>
<li>Exclude header (e.g. ‘Set-Cookie’)</li>
<li>Set parameter like ‘/my/route/:param1/:param2’</li>
<li>Add agents or filter by agents, using regular expressions</li>
<li>Agent filter for negative logic (e.g. /^((?!Firefox).)$/, which tells “every browser except Firefox”)</li>
<li>Include header and footer</li>
</ol>
