Requirements 

• Redirection 

Shifter supports simple one-by-one redirects.

Some examples

A. Redirect to a different website

Source URL https://www.example.com/abc/  
Target URL:  https://www.example.org/

B. Redirect to a different post or page: 

Source URL https://www.example.com/abc/
Target URL https://www.example.com/def/

C. Strip the date from the URL: 

Source URL https://www.example.com/2018/01/01/abc/
Target URL https://www.example.com/abc/
It may require changing the permalink structure to “Post name”

Shifter doesn’t support advanced redirection 

• Value without a trailing slash

• Regular expressions

• Pattern matches

• Pass-throughs

• Random posts

• Redirect from the root directory to another directory, post or page. ( No single value of  /  is allowed to Source URL)

• 404 not found error detections

Some examples

• redirecting from http://www.example.com/foo to  http://www.example.com/bar

• redirecting from http://www.example.com/fo.*/ to  http://www.example.com/bar/

• Redirect from /ab.?/  directory to /def/ directory.

• Redirecting users based on their browser. Such as  User Angent using Safari being redirected from http://www.example.com/foo/ to  http://www.example.com/bar/

Notes

All redirects are converted to meta http-equiv="Refresh" so no HTTP 301/302 responses will be returned to the browsers.
