  • Excellent Little Plugin

    This plugin works exactly as expected and is no-frills, lightweight, and makes other robust competitor plugins used for this purpose look clunky. Great job! Thanks!

  • It always works

    I have installed this plugin on several websites and it always works with no issues. The only thing that I don't see right is that after login with the custom url it shows a 404 page message (always on every installation I have made); I can navigate the Wordpress admin/backend using the top menu., but it should go to the main dashboard page by default. Is there a way to fix/solve it ? Thank you in advanced

  • Perfect!

    Thanks for solving this with a usable and functional plugin. I tested more than a few plugins and tried creating my own. Could not quite get it to work. This plugin works perfectly. Any of the built in redirects fail with a proper 404 (/dashboard, /login, /admin, /wp-admin, etc). This plugin does not create files or the .htaccess file. Just enter a new slug, done.
