Redirection is a WordPress plugin to manage 301 redirections, keep track of 404 errors, and generally tidy up any loose ends your site may have. This is particularly useful if you are migrating pages from an old website, or are changing the directory of your WordPress installation.
Features include:
- Supports both WordPress-based and Apache-based redirections
- 404 error monitoring - captures a log of 404 errors and allows you to easily map these to 301 redirects
- RSS feed for 404 errors
- Custom ‘pass-through’ redirections allowing you to pass a URL through to another page, file, or website.
- Full logs for all redirected URLs
- Create redirections based upon a URL, browser, referring site, or login status
- Automatically add a 301 redirection when a post’s URL changes
- Full regular expression support
- Fully localized
- Export all redirections to CSV, XML, or Apache .htaccess files
- Import Apache .htacces files

I was using such a plugin to redirect post and so on once I changed my permalinks…
But since WP 2.5, Redirection is built in the core script as well. There is no worries when you now change the permalinks.
When I accidently left such a plugin on, It was having to many redirects and the site crashed.
But the plugin above seems to have certain extra features that would help.
But most WP 2.5 and above users should be cautious when ever you are attempting to use a redirecting plugin. Well its based on my experience. Give it a try. Just be cautious.
