Set Up 301 Redirects with AI
Point moved or renamed URLs to their new home with real 301s, then confirm each one actually fires.
Prerequisites
A connected site. A redirect plugin will be installed if you do not already have one.
Set up 301 redirects on [your-site-url] for these moved or renamed URLs: - [old URL 1] should now go to [new URL 1] - [old URL 2] should now go to [new URL 2] 1. If I do not already have a redirect plugin active, install and activate a well-reviewed, widely used one (such as Redirection). Tell me which one you used. 2. Create a 301 (permanent) redirect for each pair above, sending each old URL straight to its final destination. Do not create redirect chains. 3. Verify each one for real: request the old URL and confirm it returns an HTTP 301 pointing at the correct new URL. Show me the result for each redirect. 4. List every redirect rule you created so I can review them. If any old URL is still returning a 404 or pointing to the wrong place, tell me instead of assuming it worked. If you are unsure whether a redirect should be permanent (301) or temporary (302), ask me before creating it.

Skip the copy-paste. Just ask your AI for the “Set Up 301 Redirects with AI” recipe, or describe the task, and WPVibe runs these steps on your own site.
Every time you rename a page, restructure a category, move to HTTPS, or delete an old post, the old URL keeps living in Google’s index, in other sites’ links, and in people’s bookmarks. Without a redirect, all of those now land on a 404, and the ranking and link authority the old page earned simply evaporates. Setting up a 301 (the “permanent move” redirect that passes authority to the new URL) usually means installing a plugin, learning its rule syntax, and then remembering to actually test that the redirect fires, which is the step everyone skips.
Connected to your site, the AI sets up the redirects for you through a trusted, widely used redirect plugin: you give it the old and new URLs, it creates each 301, and then it actually requests the old URL and confirms it returns a 301 pointing at the right destination. That last check is the part that matters, because a redirect that was entered wrong looks identical to one that works until someone hits the 404. It handles single moves or a whole list of old-to-new pairs, and it shows you every rule it created so nothing is hidden.
Paste the prompt with your old and new URLs. Always use a 301 (permanent) rather than a 302 for content that has genuinely moved, since only the 301 passes ranking signals along. Avoid chaining redirects (an old URL pointing to another redirect that points somewhere else); send each old URL straight to its final destination. If you are redirecting many URLs at once, give the AI the list and have it confirm each one resolves before you consider the job done.
Outcome
Each old URL returns a live 301 to its new destination, verified by an actual request, with no redirect chains.
