Their human- readable source ships with the plugin: * JavaScript (React): `src/`, built with `@wordpress/scripts` using `webpack.config. js` and `babel.config.json` * Stylesheet (SCSS): `assets/scss/` The same source is also in the public development repository: [github.com/WPDevelopers/simple-301-redirects](https://github.com/WPDevelopers/simple-301-redirects). To rebuild both files from the plugin folder, run: ``` yarn install --frozen-lockfile yarn build

External services

``` Simple 301 Redirects performs redirects entirely on your own site. It connects to an external service only in the two cases below. #### WPInsight usage analytics (opt-in, off by default) WPInsight is WPDeveloper’s usage analytics service. We use it to learn which WordPress versions, PHP versions, plugins and themes people run alongside Simple 301 Redirects, so we can keep the plugin compatible with them. * **When data is sent:** only after an administrator clicks “Sure, I’d like to help” in the opt-in notice. It is sent once at that moment, then about once a day by WP-Cron (only the details that changed since the last report), and once more when the plugin is deactivated. If you click “No Thanks.” or ignore the notice, nothing is ever sent. * **What is sent:** your site URL and site name, WordPress version, site language and charset, PHP version, server software, whether the site is a multisite, text direction, the server path of the plugin, the lists of active and inactive plugins, the active theme and its version, the Simple 301 Redirects version, and the email address of the administrator who clicks the opt-in button (used to send the discount coupon offered in the notice). On deactivation it sends the same details again, plus the email address of the administrator who deactivates the plugin and the reason and any note they enter in the deactivation form. Like any web request, the connection also reveals your server’s IP address to the service. * **Where it is sent:** `https://send.wpinsight.com/process-plugin-data` * **Terms and privacy:** [Terms and Conditions](https://wpdeveloper.com/terms-and-conditions/), [Privacy Policy](https://wpdeveloper.com/privacy-policy/) #### WordPress.org Plugins API (only when you click “Install BetterLinks”) The settings page offers to install our free BetterLinks plugin. Only when an administrator clicks “Install BetterLinks” does the plugin ask the WordPress.org Plugins API (` https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/`) for BetterLinks’ download link and download it from WordPress.org, the same way the Plugins > Add New screen does. The request sends the plugin slug `betterlinks` along with the information WordPress core sends with every WordPress.org API request.

We've been using it for many years. Recently after upgrading WP to 5.9.5 (I know it's an old version but bear with me). The following redirects no longer work Request:/blog-test/blog-title.html?lang=en However if I remove the ?lang=en parameter, it will work again. We've never had this issue before.

This morning I noticed I had many 404 errors and none of the redirects were working. The plugin currently says it's untested with WordPress 6.0.1 which is the version I am using. Until a patch happens this plugin is useless. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e9c38ebbe66c1acb352b1568c9b72e974f4d3d7833fc209b00a727aa34771181? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Abandoning this plugin after using it for years](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/abandoning-this-plugin-after-using-it-for-years/)󠁿 [Studiobovenkamer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/studiobovenkamer/) Mee 19, 2022 1 reply Have been using this for a long time on a lot of sites, but something happened to the focus of the developers.
