<p><strong>Simple redirect management that works immediately.</strong> Create <code>/go/your-slug</code> redirects in WordPress admin — no configuration required. Optionally accelerate with Cloudflare Workers.</p>
<p>Built by <a href="https://301.st" rel="nofollow ugc">301.st</a> — your redirect management experts.</p>
<h4>What It Does</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Instant redirects</strong> — Works right after activation. No setup, no external services needed.</li>
<li><strong>Full control</strong> — 301/302/307/308 codes, UTM auto-append, query passthrough.</li>
<li><strong>404 catch-all</strong> — Redirect all 404 pages to your homepage or any URL (WP-only).</li>
<li><strong>CSV import/export</strong> — Migrate affiliate links between sites in seconds.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>WordPress handles everything by default</strong> — Redirects work via WP rewrite rules</li>
<li><strong>Enable edge mode (optional)</strong> — Connect Cloudflare for sub-millisecond redirects</li>
<li><strong>Fail-open design</strong> — If edge fails, WordPress takes over. Redirects never break.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Privacy First</h4>
<ul>
<li>Aggregated click stats only (daily totals)</li>
<li>No IP addresses, no cookies, no User-Agent</li>
<li>GDPR compliant — no consent required</li>
</ul>

<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin optionally connects to the Cloudflare API when the user explicitly enables “Edge Mode” in the Integrations settings page. This feature is entirely opt-in and the plugin works fully without it.</p>
<h4>Cloudflare API</h4>
<p>Cloudflare is a web infrastructure and security company that provides CDN, DNS, and edge computing services. This plugin uses the Cloudflare API to deploy a Worker script that handles redirects at the network edge (before requests reach your WordPress server), resulting in faster redirect responses.</p>
<p>Data sent to Cloudflare (only when edge mode is enabled by the user):</p>
<ul>
<li>API token (provided by the user) — sent with each API request for authentication.</li>
<li>Redirect rules (slugs, target URLs, status codes, UTM parameters) — sent when publishing or updating the Worker snapshot.</li>
<li>Worker JavaScript code — uploaded once during edge mode setup.</li>
</ul>
<p>No visitor data, IP addresses, cookies, or personal information is ever sent to Cloudflare by this plugin.</p>

<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p>This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Click statistics are aggregated daily totals only — no IP addresses, cookies, user agents, or personal data are recorded. No consent banner is required.</p>

<p>kURL connects your WordPress site to your self-hosted YOURLS installation.</p>
<p>The name kURL combines <strong>kurz URL</strong> — “short URL” in German — with the familiar term URL. In other words, kURL is built for creating and managing short URLs from WordPress.</p>
<p>It lets you create short URLs for posts, pages, and supported custom post types directly from the WordPress admin area. You can generate links manually, create them automatically when content is published, assign custom keywords, refresh click statistics, and process older content in bulk.</p>
<p>kURL also includes migration tools for older Better YOURLS data, local logging for troubleshooting, and optional helper code for true remote deletion and safe reverse lookup on the YOURLS side.</p>
<p>Requires a self-hosted YOURLS installation with API access. No third-party shortening service is included.</p>
<p>If your server uses Nginx instead of Apache, add a deny rule for the <code>wp-content/uploads/kurl/</code> directory in your Nginx configuration to protect the log folder.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create short URLs from the WordPress editor.</li>
<li>Automatically create short URLs when content is published.</li>
<li>Use custom keywords when creating short URLs.</li>
<li>Generate short URLs manually for any target URL from the dashboard.</li>
<li>Refresh and store click statistics from YOURLS.</li>
<li>View saved links, latest links, top links, and recent YOURLS activity in the dashboard.</li>
<li>Bulk-generate short URLs for existing content in AJAX batches.</li>
<li>Import legacy data from the Better YOURLS plugin.</li>
<li>Optional YOURLS helper extension for remote deletion and safe long-URL lookup.</li>
<li>Activity and error logging for troubleshooting.</li>
<li>Optional short URL column in WordPress content list screens.</li>
<li>Experimental sync and cleanup tools.</li>
</ul>
