unfortunately, whatever frequency I try to set the timer to redirect to, it still does it every single time – making my blog unusable. I’ve had to disable the plugin until the developer fixes it. There’s an error report in the forum from 3 months ago, but still not fixed 🙁

I had to clear cache before it would work. Apart from that, some to the links in the admin area would get redirected. Sure I had the ‘redirect all pages’ option selected, but I would expect that for only frontend pages. Well – just the plugin i needed. sadly dint work for me
