Allowed Routes

描述

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**
