What's going wrong
Many site owners of this WordPress redirect plugin report that rules stop firing after an update, so old URLs keep returning 404 errors or land on the wrong page. Some say the problem began right after a particular release, and others noticed it weeks later. A few had to roll back to older versions, and one said the plugin changed behavior without the release notes matching the code. Site owners who depend on redirects for search rankings are hit hardest. A redirect health checker that tests each rule after updates and alerts on failures would catch these silent breakages.
