Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview

About this plugin

e. )

The shortcode to use is ‘pgredirect’ – its attributes are:

g. g. ) redirectWhen (optional): -> when = "1", redirects when match is found, otherwise defaults to redirect on non-match

Syntax examples:

com/notfound" /]

com/notfound" /]

Usage

A typical use scenario might be to prevent access to a downloads page. Suppose you have a PayPal “Buy Now” button on your site which allows visitors to make a payment for say, an eBook or audio recording. When setting up the button in your PayPal account you specify a URL on your site to which the visitor is returned after they’ve made payment.

On this return page you’ve added a link the visitor can use to download their purchase – however, you don’t want any non paying visitors to find the return page by chance!

g.

dltoken=Xc345Fd77"

Next, add a pgredirect short code to your return page in WordPress –

site/notfound" /]

This will cause a redirect if Page Guard Redirect detects either the lack of the expected token in the URL parameter, or a value which doesn’t match the one in the short code’s tokenvalue attribute.
