The documentation for Legacy Redirector (formerly WPCOM Legacy Redirector) has moved into the repository, where it is versioned and reviewed alongside the code.

• README: what the plugin does, installation, and a quick start
• WP-CLI commands and recipes: bulk imports from CSV or post meta, exports, auditing broken redirects, retiring a domain
• Configuration: the manage_redirects capability, filters, and allowing external destinations
• Abilities and MCP clients: managing redirects from AI agents on WordPress 6.9 and later
• Upgrading from 1.x to 2.0: what changes, and how existing redirects are migrated

Still on 1.x?

The pages that used to be here described version 1.x, and much of what they said no longer applies to 2.0. For example, /old-page and /old-page/ are now a single redirect, and the WP-CLI commands have new names. If you are still running 1.3.0, its README matches that release. The previous version of this page is in its revision history.
