Redirect from WP Plugin
-
Any way of preventing a re-direct caused by a wordpress plugin?
-
I know
Hi checked out your plug-in it does not look like the best solution for total security and all honesty you can't get that from a simple plug-in you need to have a hardend server you might want to look into
Every one of them of is a far better job protecting your information the one plug and can and I'll have a server-side secure built in
My 2 cents

What is the specific redirect you're looking at, Brett? In some cases, redirects are essential to the way certain functionality works. This can be especially true of security plugins. In which case a judgement call has to be made whether the security feature is more important than the tiny increase in site speed from removing it.

thanks Chris. the plugin is wordfence

If you go to the Plugins category from within the Wordpress Dashboard then you should be able to click 'edit' on the offending plugin in order to remove the code manually that is causing the redirect. Without knowing exactly which Plugin is causing you grief I can’t give specifics but the redirect code should be fairly obvious.
Just bear in mind that whenever you update the Plugin the redirect code will reappear and will have to be manually edited out again.

thanks. tried this but the plugins in question do not have any options concerning redirect and they are required on my site.
-
Yes go into your dashboard when logged into WordPress. Find plug-ins look for the plug-in that is doing the redirect itself and disable it. Or if it has options which I'm sure it does find the offending redirect and remove that.
I hope that would've helped you

Duplicate Content aka 301 redirect from .com to .com/index.html
Moz reports are telling me that I have duplicate content on the home page because .com and .com/index.html are being seen as two pages. I have implemented 301 redirect using various codes I found online, but nothing seems to work. Currently I'm using this code. RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jacksonvilleacservice.com
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://www.jacksonvilleacservice.com/ [L,R=301] Nothing is changing. What am I doing wrong? I have given it several weeks but report stays the same. Also according to webmasters tools they can't see this as duplicate content. What am I doing wrong?0 -
How Much Does a Missing www. 301 redirect hurt a business?
We're preparing a report for a potential client, and are trying to figure out a way to estimate rankings gains. One of the major issues is a lack of a 301 redirect for non-www. domains to www. domains. We checked and there's no canonicalization, so it's a clear issue. According to Google, the non-www. links from 8 different domains. The www. version of the website has links from 248 different domains. Nearly all anchor text is branded, as they've never had any SEO work done before. Does anyone have a suggestion for approximating benefits of setting up their .htaccess file correctly? Would the benefits even be that great? We're of course advising additional things, but we just want to be more certain about this step's SEO-boost.

Can you 301 redirect to a page that has other pages 301 to it?
Two years ago updated url page to include better keywords and used a 301 redirect from the old page to the new. so www.example.com/keyword-1st-generation.html now points to ... www.example.com/keyword-2nd-generation.html That moved the pages up in ranking, but now have better kw for the url, so is it okay to redirect the /keyword-2nd-geration-html to www.example.com/keyword-3rd-generation.html And what is a good length of time before removing the 1st-generation url? It's been 3 years and there is no chance of using it again. Plus, no sign of it in analytics.

301 redirect usage
I just wondering if using a lot of 301 redirects could hurt to my seo? We have site which have a lot of content with such links: title: This Is Title page url: www.site.com/This-Is-Title-page.html and we use for each page 301 redirect to remove capital letters in url: www.site.com/this-is-title-page.html Is this is good idea and not hurting to seo ? Thanks in advance

301 redirect and then keywords in URL
Hi, Matt Cutts says that 301 redirects, including the ones on internal pages, causes the loss of a little bit of link juice. But also, I know that keywords in the URL are very important. On our site, we've got unoptimized URLs (few keywords) in the internal pages. Is it worth doing a 301 redirect in order to optimize the URLs for each main page. 301 redirects are the only way we can do it on our premade cart For example (just an example) say our main (1 of the 4) keywords for the page is "brown shoes". I'm wondering if I should redirect something like shoes.com/shoecolors.html to shoes.com/brown-shoes.html In other words, with the loss of juice would we come out ahead? In what instances would we come out ahead?
