Permalink Redirect WordPress Plugin 0.4

Permalink Redirect WordPress Plugin has now been migrated from my old blogsite to FuCoder.com. 0.4 had some minor changes to resolve certain permalink issues reported by its users.

  • Properly handle multi-page archives, and multi-page post entry.
  • Force an exact match to the permalink, instead of just checking for partial match.

So if you have a permalink structure that does not have a trailing slash, and when a trailing slash is present in the request, 301 will be returned to redirect the browser to the correct permalink.

At the same time, as the checking rule is more rigid in 0.4, I am afraid that it might break some special URL generated by other plugins. So if 0.4 does not work in you, you can either (1) report the issue and I will see whether there’s a workaround (2) roll back to 0.3 which is a bit more flexible.

Update 2005-10-24: MacManX pointed out a silly bug in my code, so I quickly patched it up and call it 0.4.1 to save further embarrassment.

Hi,

I’ve recently upgraded to WordPress 2 and Permalink Redirect Plugin 0.4.2 and all seems fine except for Author archive pages.

I call the Author archive page from my Single post template using ;; this gives a URL of domain.com/author/user-nicename/ where ‘author’ is just the word ‘author’, if that makes sense. Clicking on the link returns a 404 error and the URL domain.com/author/. Disabling the Permalink Redirect Plugin cause everything to work again.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have the exact same issue. Permalink redirect plugin (version 0.4.1) causes Author archives to not work with WP 2.01 - it seems to try to redirect /author/authorname to /author/, which doesn’t work.
