Plugins / Pantry Redirects

A redirect list you can read at a glance and a 404 log that shows what to fix. Add exact-path redirects, see how often they fire, and turn a logged 404 into a redirect with one click. Import and export as CSV.

Compared with the popular plugins

The Pantry Redirects settings screen in the WordPress admin, at Plugin Pantry > Redirects.

What it does

  • Redirect list with source path, target URL, type (301, 302, 307), enabled switch and hit count
  • Exact path matching that ignores trailing slashes and, optionally, query strings
  • Validation that rejects redirect loops, self-redirects and duplicate sources
  • 404 log of the last 200 unique paths with hit count and last-seen time, no visitor data stored
  • One-click redirect from any 404 row, and one-click clear of the log
  • CSV import and export of the redirect list
  • Two custom tables, removed on uninstall

What it does not do

  • No regular-expression redirects
  • No automatic redirect when a slug changes
  • No visitor tracking: no IP addresses, no user agents, no referrers stored
  • No external requests

Documentation

Every setting on the Pantry Redirects screen and what each one does, with the hooks it publishes: the same text that ships in the plugin README.

Pro add-on

See Pantry Pro pricing
  • Regular-expression and wildcard rules
  • Automatic redirects when a permalink changes
  • Scheduled log clean-up and email digests

These modules ship in Pantry Pro now. None of this is in the free plugin, and none of it is switched off inside it: Pro is a separate plugin, and one key switches on every module whose free plugin is active.

Changelog

All notable changes to Pantry Redirects are recorded here. The format follows Keep a Changelog and the project uses semantic versioning.

1.1.1 - 2026-09-12

Fixed
  • The Settings tab printed "Settings saved." twice after a save: the shared core prints that notice itself, and the tab printed it again.

1.1.0 - 2026-09-12

  • Added a kind column to the rules table, defaulting to exact. Every read this plugin makes is limited to that kind, so an add-on can keep rules of another kind in the same table and have their hits counted the same way.
  • Added the pantry_redirects_pre_match filter, which runs on template_redirect before the exact lookup and may answer with a rule.
  • Added the pantry_redirects_settings_after action at the end of the Settings tab, so an add-on can put its own section on this plugin's screen.
  • The duplicate check when saving a redirect now looks at rules of every kind, because the source column is unique across the whole table.
  • No change to how redirects behave.

1.0.0 - 2026-09-12

  • First release.
  • Redirect list with source path, target, type (301, 302, 307), an enabled switch, a hit count and the time of the last hit.
  • Exact path matching that ignores trailing slashes and letter case, with an option to ignore query strings.
  • Validation that rejects an empty or home-page source, a bad target, a duplicate source, a self-redirect and a redirect loop.
  • 404 log of the most recently seen unique paths with a hit count and the time last seen. No IP addresses, user agents or referrers are stored.
  • Create redirect from any logged 404 row, delete single rows, and clear the whole log.
  • CSV import and export of the redirect list.
  • Two custom tables, both dropped on uninstall.
