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.
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.
.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.

<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Path redirects</li>
<li>Full URL redirects</li>
<li>Post ID redirects</li>
<li>RegEx redirects</li>
<li>Redirect logs</li>
<li>404 logs</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
Open <code>Tools → Redirect.txt</code> and provide a list of URLs here. Here is an example of available syntax:
<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>
The same rules without comments:
<pre><code>/hello: /new-hello

308:

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

Redirect.txt

Manage 301 & 302 redirects easily. No posts creation bloat, just a simple list.

<a href="http://kingpro.me/plugins/smtp-king-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">SMTP King Pro</a> seamlessly enables you to use your own email address to send out emails from your WordPress site. This will make these 
emails appear as if they are being sent directly from you by using your email address in the from field as opposed to WordPress using the servers generic email address 
to send the emails out. Just install and set, SMTP King Pro handles the rest.
<a href="http://kingpro.me/plugins/smtp-king-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">SMTP King Pro</a> allows you to specify your SMTP host, the username and password to connect to your email, the SMTP port if different 
from default and what address and name to use as the “from” address.
