How it works

Traditional redirect plugins process redirects on the server — the request hits WordPress, PHP evaluates it, then the visitor is redirected. On busy sites this adds load.

CORA Custom Redirects manages redirects in the WordPress admin for convenience, then pushes them to Cloudflare Workers KV — a globally distributed key-value store. A Worker intercepts incoming requests, checks KV for a match, and sends the visitor to the new URL before WordPress is ever involved. The result: near-instant redirects with zero server load.

Adding redirects

1. Go to CORA → Redirects
2. Click Add Redirect
3. Enter the source path (e.g. /old-page/)
4. Enter the destination URL
5. Select a status code (301, 302, etc.)
6. Save

Syncing to Cloudflare

After adding or editing redirects, click Sync to Cloudflare. This pushes all active redirects to Cloudflare Workers KV.

• Only active redirects are pushed
• Deleted redirects are soft-deleted and removed from KV on the next sync
• Sync is a manual step — there is no auto-sync on save
• Last sync time is shown at the top of the Redirects admin page

Regex & advanced matching

Regex patterns are supported for flexible source matching — useful for redirecting entire directory paths, handling trailing slash variations, or matching URL parameters.

Bulk import

To import redirects in bulk:

1. Prepare a CSV with columns: source, destination, status_code
2. Go to CORA → Redirects → Import
3. Upload your CSV
4. Confirm the import preview
5. Sync to Cloudflare to push live

Requirements

• Cloudflare account with Workers and KV enabled
• Cloudflare API token with Workers:Edit and KV:Edit permissions
• WordPress 6.0+
