FAQ

I’m getting 404 errors when I try to visit my redirects. What do I do?

Go to Settings Permalinks and resave your permalink settings.

Can I change the redirects base URL slug from `/go/` to something else?

There is no setting to do so at this time.

I want exactly what this plug-in does, but without the /go/ subdirectory. It defeats my purpose … I put out a newsletter and it has a bad URL published in it. I simply want to have that ‘bad’ url, if clicked to take it to the good URL … which neither use the /go/subdirectory.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. I’m amazed more people aren’t using this. You can use it to mask referral and affiliate links, or just simply use it to save editing links across many pages on your website.
