- Disable the existing Redirect Draft Content snippet.
- Upload the test ZIP through Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin and activate it.
- Open Settings → Draft Redirect, review the retained destinations and save.
- Test a draft URL while logged out. Live previews also work before saving.
Does this permanently move content?
No. Redirects use HTTP 302. Search engines decide how to process temporary redirects; retaining an indexed URL is not guaranteed.
Which content types are supported?
Posts, pages and publicly viewable custom post types, including hierarchical paths. Attachments and nonpublic types are excluded.
Can editors preview drafts?
Yes. Users with edit_posts or permission to edit the requested draft are exempt. Preview, feed, REST, AJAX and write requests are excluded.
Can I use an external URL?
Yes. An administrator can configure a complete HTTP or HTTPS URL for each content type. Credentials and unsafe protocols are rejected. Preview the destination before saving.
