SLP Redirector
Allows editors and admins to set specific redirection rules for missing posts of each post type to a relative URL or the post type's archive page. Use case: a site which produces posts which are only fresh for a short time and routinely deletes old posts when they are no longer relevant.

Redirects missing posts of specified types to a relative URL or the post type's archive.
Description
The Short-Lived Post Redirector plugin allows users with the Editor or Admin role to select post types and specify a relative URL for redirection. When a visitor tries to access a non-existent post of a selected type, they will be redirected to the specified URL or the first archive page of that post type if no URL is provided. The settings are accessible via an admin page, where the user can check the post types to redirect and provide a custom URL if desired.

- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/slp-redirectordirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
