What a new redirect starts as. Which kind the form offers first. You can change it on any redirect.

Carry anything after the ? through to the new page. On by default. A visitor who arrives from a tagged campaign link keeps the tag, so your analytics still say where they came from rather than recording the visit as arriving from nowhere. It arrives as the visitor sent it, spaces, accents and encoded characters included: a campaign called Black Friday 2026, a search for café or a return address keeps every character except a line break, which WordPress never lets into a redirect. When the new address already has a value of the same name, such as ?ref=sale, the new address's value is kept.

Treat anything after the ? as part of the address. Off by default. Off, a redirect for /old-page catches every visit to it however the link was tagged, which is what most people mean. On, you can write a redirect for one exact tagged address.

Keep the old address working when a page is renamed. Described above. It covers categories, tags and product categories too.

Keep old addresses working when the permalink structure changes, and Older structures under it. Described above, under Changing your permalinks. On for new installs.

Keep a list of addresses that were not found, the two filters, Never list these addresses and the two limits under it. Described above.

Who can manage redirects. Administrators always can. Tick Editors, or Shop managers on a WooCommerce shop, to let them in as well. Described below.

Delete the redirects and the broken links list when the plugin is deleted. Off by default. Deactivating never deletes anything either way.
