- It can be specified for each redirect rule whether or not to first decode the URL.
Unfortunately this component has serious compatibility issues with many servers and with Joomla 2.5 installation
Having just changed blog components, I was faced with over 1000 broken links. The thought of doing this manually was daunting (especially since I don't know enough to fiddle with .htaccess too much). This component did it in one hit - bingo, all links redirect perfectly to the new blog!
Very nice plugin, does exactly what it promises. Just had some trouble finding out how to redirects where the original URL has questionmarks, like index.php?item..... etc, but found out that you need toescape these with a backslash.
Received reply from the programmer within an hour for my question.

I can't say enough good things about this extension or it's developer. Both have exceeded my every expectation. The plugin works very well (tested thoroughly on J 1.7 and J 1.5).
Installation is a breeze and using the extension is easy as well. The documentation is good. The forums on the developers site are good. And most importantly, I've never before experienced the level of customer support that I experienced with this extension.
This is a very focused, yet very flexible redirection tool. I say "focused" because it thankfully doesn't try to do 50 other things in addition to the redirection - it just focuses on redirection and does it very well.
Hands down, without question, I confidently recommend this extension.

I have to agree with pwsheff, this is a must-have for any Joomla! site. Even though the developer is Italian the user's manual is in English (wow, thanks for that!) with clear, concise directions on how to use the extension. Not only does it do what it says, but it does so easily (and powerfully - I can't get over all the available options with re: regular expressions & macros) with no hassle.
I haven't had any problems with it so didn't need any customer service, but I have no doubt that if I did, the developer would be there to assist.
I wish more extensions were as well thought-out, powerful and had such flawless execution as this one.
If you, as a webmaster/administrator have: moved hosts, changed domains, altered your links in any way - you need this extension, plain and simple so you don't bleed Google Page Rank due to 404 errors, especially when it is so simple to rectify it with this fantastic extension.
Kudos to the developer(s) at sistemistica.it!!

11/10 5*****stars the best of the best.
The developer is fantastic, Luigi is my hero. I have been using the internet for 20 years and in 20 years I have never had such fantastic amazing customer service. I never write reviews for anything, I mean anything, I just couldn't not write a glowing review for www.sistemistica.it/redj.html . A top guy who has gone the ends of the earth using his own personal time to help me. Needless to say he could have just done as other extensions and left me to rot. This guy deserves an open source award for really promoting the good spirit of open source. The extension in my opinion is much better than SH404SEF, he also does another extension TAGMETA, this allows you to setup a canonical page for every page. This extension should be on every Joomla website. Help the development of this extension and purchase commercial. I cannot fault the extension in any way, I cannot fault the forums and the developer is fantastic. BEST JOOMLA DEVELOPER AND BEST BEST JOOMLA EXTENSION BY MILES AND MILES. Thank you my friend for all your hard work and effort :)

What to say ... I am genuinely moved. Really thanks!
Something to look out for. If you had SEF enabled but not the extensions us ^/title for the from URL because nothing else works.
Also, there are settings to be configured in the plugin that enable the logging.
Finally, reorder your plugins so that it is at the top.
Once I figured out those three things, this plugin became awesome. I tried many others and I wasn't impressed. Still trying to get one of them out of my install.

A great extension is wonderful of course, but great support can be just as important (if not more so) a fact sometimes overlooked.
ReDJ offers helpful and active support when needed, making an already cool extension even better. I had problems redirecting url's with special characters in them, but Luigi helped me quickly solve the problem.
This is - in my mind - a must have ReDJ extension anyway, at least if you want to (continue to) enjoy the favors of mighty Google, which hates 404 just as much as users do. With ReDJ, you can easily remedy that.
Thanks again Luigi!

Great extension joomla!
I had to redirect an address to an address in shared hosting SSL (alert message when we arrived on the page), many others did, but all site site or 404 address.
ReDj help me to realize this redirection.
Many thanks you to developers and the active support

I love it, and it just works! Enter the local address of the old web page in the first field /example.html and then enter the new address in the next field /newname and you're done! Did I say I love it? I have a 2,000+ page site that's going from static to Joomla and I'm getting rid of all the old file names and replacing them with new, shorter Joomla names. This component has been an absolute blessing. I never read a manual, or tutorial and I never had to contact tech support, it just works and works every time. And it is FREE! They have saved me hours of time and frustration, plus, they make me look like I really know what I'm doing. I'll have to find a proper way to repay these folks for such a fine component! Thank you!
