<p><strong>LinkRail Redirects, 404 & Security</strong> is a fast, lightweight all-in-one URL redirect, broken-link repair and admin-URL security plugin for WordPress. Built for sites that need real redirect power, real login hardening, and real 404 recovery — without the bloat.</p>
<h4>Why LinkRail?</h4>
<p>Most redirect plugins do one thing. LinkRail bundles three things every serious WordPress site actually needs:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Redirect Manager</strong> — 301, 302, 307, 308, and 410 Gone redirects with exact, prefix, regex, and wildcard matching.</li>
<li><strong>Admin URL Security</strong> — hide your <code>/wp-login.php</code> behind a custom slug, IP-whitelist <code>/wp-admin</code>, and recover with a one-time emergency URL if you ever lock yourself out.</li>
<li><strong>SEO 404 Broken Link Fixer</strong> — auto-detects 404s across your site and suggests or one-click creates redirects to recover lost traffic.</li>
</ol>
<p>All features are <strong>100% free</strong>. No license keys, no upsells, no feature gating.</p>
<h4>Core Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Unlimited redirects (301, 302, 307, 308, 410 Gone)</li>
<li>Match types: exact, prefix, regex (with capture groups), wildcard</li>
<li>Hide wp-login behind a custom slug with IP whitelist and emergency recovery URL</li>
<li>Automatic 404 broken link detection and smart redirect suggestions</li>

<li>Clean, native-feeling admin UI</li>
<li>Translation-ready (text domain: <code>linkrail</code>)</li>
<li>No external services — everything runs locally</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built for Performance</h4>
<ul>
<li>Cached lookups via WordPress object cache</li>
<li>Indexed database tables for sub-millisecond matching</li>
<li>Runs on <code>template_redirect</code> — no interference with other plugins</li>

</ul>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>LinkRail stores redirect rules, visit hit counts, and 404 log entries in your own WordPress database. Nothing is sent to external servers. Bot user-agents are ignored by default to keep logs clean.</p>


LinkRail Redirects, 404 & Security

All-in-one redirect manager, broken-link repair and admin URL security for WordPress. 301/302/307/308/410, regex, hidden /wp-login, IP whitelist, emer …

<p>With Redirect.txt, you can provide a simple list of URLs and their destinations with no post-creation bloat, no limitations, and just a simple editor.</p>
<p>There are many good redirect plugins that have been developed for years and have a strong code base. But we don’t like the idea of creating separate posts/entries for each redirection rule. We simply need to add, remove, and manage redirects in a simple and bulk way.</p>
<p>.htaccess and nginx configs are OK, but we don’t want to edit configs placed somewhere in server directories; we want to open our admin panel and add redirects easily. We also don’t care about wrong config configurations, which will stop your server.</p>

<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Open <code>Tools <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Redirect.txt</code> and provide a list of URLs here. Here is an example of available syntax:</p>
<pre><code># The links below will automatically use 301 redirects.
/hello: /new-hello

# Support for custom status
# To make 301, 302, 303, 307, or 308 redirects, use a code like this:
308: # All redirections below will use 308 redirect status.

# Support for post ID's
# Redirect from post with ID 1 to post with ID 8:
1: 8

# Support for external redirects:
/external: https://google.com/

# Support for RegEx redirects (automatically detected when the string starts with ^):
^/news/(.*): /blog/$1

# You can use as many comments as you want to categorize your links better.
</code></pre>
<p>The same rules without comments:</p>
<pre><code>/hello: /new-hello

308:

1: 8
/external: https://google.com/
^/news/(.*): /blog/$1
</code></pre>
