WordPress.org Plugin Listing - Redirect Content Manager

Prepared for submission to the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Short summary (for clients / internal use)

What is Redirect Content Manager?

Redirect Content Manager (RCM) is a monitoring and SEO hygiene plugin for WordPress sites that retire or consolidate content using redirects. It does not create redirects - it works alongside plugins like Redirection, Rank Math, or Yoast Premium to give you one place to see what is redirected, what still appears in sitemaps, and what needs fixing.

Why Bradford Jacobs needs it

Bradford Jacobs is a large, multi-country WordPress site with hundreds of location and service pages. Over time, pages get merged, renamed, or retired and are handled with 301 redirects in the Redirection plugin, while Yoast SEO manages the XML sitemap.

Without a dedicated tool, teams typically discover problems only during Ahrefs audits:

  • Redirected URLs still listed in the sitemap
  • Redirect chains (A → B → C instead of A → C)
  • Broken or missing redirects after content changes
  • No single list of “retired” URLs tied to real WordPress pages

RCM helps the Bradford Jacobs team by:

| Problem | How RCM helps |

|--------|----------------|

| Redirected country pages still in sitemap | Automatically excludes active 301 URLs from Yoast XML sitemaps (live check via Redirection - no manual import required) |

| No central redirect inventory | Sync from Redirection imports all active 301 rules into Monitored Items |

| Ahrefs 3xx export vs live site | Import Ahrefs CSV, then Scan Everything to reconcile with Redirection |

| Redirect chains hurting crawl budget | Health Issues flags chains, loops, broken redirects with filters and severity |

| Large URL volume | Filters, pagination, bulk actions, scheduled daily scans |

Typical workflow for Bradford Jacobs:

1. Settings → Redirect Provider: Redirection, SEO: Yoast SEO

2. Import → Sync Now (pull all 301 rules)

3. Scan Everything (reconcile + health check)

4. Optionally import Ahrefs CSV for URLs not yet in Redirection

5. Review Health Issues → fix chains in Redirection → re-scan

Assets required for WordPress.org SVN

WordPress.org uses a separate assets/ folder in the plugin SVN (not inside the plugin zip).

Placeholders and naming notes: assets/images/ in this repo (replace .txt placeholders with real PNGs before SVN upload).

Recommended screenshots

1. Dashboard - KPIs, charts, scan buttons

2. Monitored Items - filtered table with redirects and sitemap status

3. Import - Sync from Redirection + Ahrefs CSV

4. Health Issues - chains / broken redirects with filters

5. Settings - redirect provider + Yoast + sitemap exclusion

Screenshot captions (for readme.txt == Screenshots == section) are already listed in readme.txt.

One-paragraph elevator pitch (English)

Redirect Content Manager is the missing layer between your redirect plugin and your SEO plugin. It monitors which WordPress URLs are retired behind 301 redirects, keeps XML sitemaps clean, imports Ahrefs redirect audits, syncs rules from Redirection (and other providers), and surfaces SEO health problems like redirect chains and broken targets - so enterprise sites like Bradford Jacobs can manage hundreds of country and service page redirects without guesswork.
