Redirect is not compatible with Simply Static. Its core visitor-facing functionality requires live WordPress and cannot be made static-compatible by upgrading to Simply Static Pro or Static Studio.

### About this Plugin

Easily redirect any post or page to another page with a dropdown menu or by manually typing in a URL. Check out the screenshots. This plugin also changes permalinks and menus to point directly to the new location of the redirect – this prevents bots from getting a redirect and helps boost your SEO.

### Static WordPress Challenge

This plugin depends on live, request-time WordPress/PHP functionality such as sessions, authenticated visitors, or dynamic endpoints. Its core visitor-facing features do not work on a static WordPress site. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio changes that compatibility verdict. Use a separate hosted, headless, or external service if the plugin's use case offers one.

### Frequently Asked Questions

Is Redirect compatible with Simply Static?

No. Redirect requires live, request-time WordPress functionality and cannot operate as a static site. Simply Static Pro and Static Studio do not change that compatibility verdict.

Can a paid Simply Static product make Redirect compatible?

No. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio can turn Redirect's session-based or request-time PHP functionality into a static-site feature. A separate headless or external service would be a different implementation.

Does Redirect affect static build times?

Redirect has approximately 5,000 active installs. Plugins with complex shortcodes or dynamic blocks may add minor overhead to the static generation pass.

How often is this compatibility data updated?

All plugins are re-scanned monthly. Scans run five analysis passes including an AI classifier. The last tested date at the top of this page reflects the most recent scan.
