Allowed Routes

Screenshots

Define allowed routes for your website, all other routes will return a 404 error. Permalinks will be overruled. Login, Backend routes and local files (like wp-login.php) are always available to prevent a lockout. Also delete all your page caches after enabling to prevent unwanted routing behavior. Use cases: Absolute control over all permalinks Prevent unwanted search engine indexing Be sure no custom post type adds unwanted permalinks No frontend needed Important: The routing overrules permalinks and works like a whitelist. Only correct entered routes will go through. You should test the routing before using on production environments Be careful using several routing- or redirect plugins at the same time Do not forget to delete all your page caches after enabling/disabling the routing to prevent unwanting routing behavior Behaviour: The used protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) will be ignored GET params will be ignored Routes are case sensitive Syntax / Wildcards: The route / allows the index page (Check the checkbox \”Allow index page\”) Wildcard * allows a single term with an arbitrary value (e.g. category//page/) Wildcard ** permits all possible combinations of terms (e.g. category/**) This wildcard is only allowed at the end of a route Wildcards are only allowed as complete terms. Correct: /foo//bar/** Wrong: /foo/ba/test**
