This was the last extension I tried and the only one that worked - to redirect some horrible URLs from an old flash menu to the required URLs.
Simple and fast...
Thanks!

This plugin would be more useful if the redirection was set during the creation/editing of an article. The way it is now its awkward.

Some time ago I tested this very plugin for one of my sites and found it was not working for unknown reason.
But for another site it works excellent! I couldn't force to work any other redirecting extensions but this really works in any browsers flawlessly!

I tried this first, but later changed to ReDJ. Just adding new URL redirections in a text box one after the other, looks like a mess when you have too many url's after a while.

In ReDJ, instead you also have a component, and you have a lot better view of everything.

It works, but I don't recoemmend it for those who have more than five or so links to redirect.

I was looking for something to redirect my landing page (domainname.com) to a new site. It worked very easily. In the plug-in manager, look for parameters and simply put

|http://www.domain.com/path_to_new_file

Thanks for this great plug-in! Works like a charm.

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to Ross, who provided me with knowledgeable, courteous and timely (lightning fast) support; this is a great extension.

FYI - if you get thrown into an infinite loop on your homepage using JRedirect {stay calm} it is an easy fix; thanks to Ross who will be fixing this in the next version.

Solution for an infinite loop:
Go to the Plugin Manager and select JRedirect
Locate the Parameters box
Enter site specific information, using | to segregate old and new urls.
Example - To redirect http://example.com/product to
http://example.com/index.php?option=com_content&id=4 the entry would
look like this:

product|index.php?option=com_content&id=4

I had tried to create lots of redirects myself using the htaccess file, but this was interfering with Joomla SEF URLs. But, after a quick check of this site, i came across this module. It was easy to install, and solved all my problems almost instantly.

Fantastic plugin. Does the job well. I was looking to rename some articles, and didn't want to stuff up my search engine ranking. This is perfect.
for those of you who want to test it to see if it is SEO friendly, I found this website that
A) proves it works
B) is good for testing that you have set up your redirect right.

You just put in your OLD URL, and it will tell you if the redirect is friendly, and where it goes to.

Magic! Thanks for writing the plugin!

For simple redirect of URLs this plugin is as simple as it is amazing! The support too is prompt.

Just love it

Migrated to joomla 1.5.9 and on J 1.10.15 i was using artio joomsef. Links submitted to google were showing 404 coz of url changes due to migration. JRedirect helped to point the url to exact location. Now in google searches my links are as alive as they were earlier. Thanks :)

This is a very useful plugin! Just make sure you don't hit enter after the last option in the list, as it doesn't chop off this newline and will cause an infinite loop.

Other than that, great!

10+ Joomla plugin. It was help me on Joomla login redirection URL. As we know, Joomla login redirection url is without menu ID and it was impossible to see modules posted on that menu ID.
NOW WITH THIS PLUGIN - IT WAS SIMPLE.
Thank a lot.

Simple and cool, it can redirect from products?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=22&category_id=7 to products/myproduct and so on. Just don't leave empty line in "Special URLs and their destinations" textbox at the end.

This is great because even with setting the website with SEF URL's it really isn't the most friendly "path" to URLs. My client wanted to simply use /podcasts to send out emails and I was able to set this to that and when it was typed in, it went to the proper location - FANTASTIC!
