<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>Full visit logs per redirect with hit counters</li>
<li>CSV import/export for redirects</li>
<li>JSON import/export for plugin settings (each module saved independently)</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>
<li>Zero frontend JS, zero frontend CSS</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>

<p>This plugin allows you to easily set up redirections from the URL of any post, page or other post type on your WordPress site to another URL, either on your site or external to your site. Redirections can either be permanent (HTTP 301) or temporary (HTTP 302) and can easily be changed or deleted entirely.</p>
<p>Settings and options include:</p>
<ol>
<li>The URL you want to redirect to.</li>
<li>The type of redirection, permanent or temporary</li>
<li>Validation of the redirect URL to ensure it is well formed.</li>
</ol>
<p>In addition to setting up a redirect, the plugin replaces the original post’s or page’s permalink with the redirected permalink or external URL; when you hover your mouse pointer over a redirected permalink you will see the new permalink or external URL not the original.</p>
<p>Once installed and activated, the plugin adds a <em>Redirect This Post/Page/etc</em> meta box to the admin <em>Edit Post/Page</em>. Simply create a new post, or edit an existing one, add the URL you want to redirect to (copying and pasting is a good idea here to ensure there’s no typing errors), choose whether the redirection is permanent or temporary, click on the <em>Check URL</em> button to ensure your URL is well formed and save the post. You’re done.</p>
<p>While the main use of the plugin is to redirect posts and pages, you can also use it to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Convert a post to a page; useful for when the post needs to be kept updated regularly and is more suited to be a page on your site.</li>
<li>Add a menu bar link to an external site; you can create a new blank page as a menu bar link and then redirect that page to the external URL with no need to edit any code in your theme’s <code>functions.php</code>.</li>
<li>Create a shortcut category or tag archive link; you can create a new blank page, such as <code>/plugins</code> and then redirect that page to <code>/tags/plugins</code>.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Filter Support And Usage</h3>
<p>WP Avertere supports a single filter, <code>wp_avertere_protocols</code> that allows you to change the set of acceptable URL protocols that WordPress and the plugin permits.</p>
<p><em>Example:</em> Add support for GitHub repositories to the plugin.</p>
<pre><code>add_filter ('wp_avertere_protocols', 'add_github_protocol');

function add_github_protocol ($protocols) {
    // protocols = array ('name', 'name', ...)
    $protocols[] = 'git';

    return $protocols;
}
</code></pre>
