[wp-hackers] WordPress Permalink Redirection

[Baki Goxhaj]

Thanks for the addition Dan. Well, this is exactly why I asked as I tested
that redirection worked fine for human users. As far as I know WordPress has
made the redirection plugin redundant having those features in the core, but
I don't know to what extend. Can someone please just and clarify this point.

Kindly,
