Blaminhor Essentials – Redirects, Broken Links, Favicon, Maintenance, Classic Editor & 21 More

No. Each module only loads its code when activated. Disabled modules have zero impact on performance — no PHP loaded, no hooks registered, no queries run.

Yes, genuinely free. Every module and every feature ships in the single free download — no expiring trial, no ads in your dashboard, nothing held back for a paywall. I don't track you and I don't sell your data. If it saves you time, a kind review is all I ask.

WordPress 6.2 or newer and PHP 8.1 or newer. It runs fine on standard shared hosting: heavy jobs like backups and link scans are processed in small batches to avoid timeouts, and no background service or special server access is required.

Yes, that's the main goal. Blaminhor Essentials can replace Redirection, Yoast/Rank Math, WP Mail SMTP, UpdraftPlus, Duplicate Post, User Role Editor, Limit Login Attempts, WP 2FA, and many others.

Every module is off by default and independent, so installing the plugin changes nothing until you switch something on. The one thing to avoid is running two plugins that do the same job — two SEO plugins, or two page caches — since they can clash. The clean path is to import your data into the matching module, then deactivate the old plugin.

Several modules include import features, so you don't lose your existing setup:

• SEO: Import titles, descriptions and keywords from Yoast SEO, Rank Math or All in One SEO.
• SMTP: Import from WP Mail SMTP, Post SMTP or Easy WP SMTP.
• Redirections: Import from the Redirection plugin, Safe Redirect Manager or a CSV file.
• Post Types Order: Import your saved term order from Custom Taxonomy Order.
• Favicon: Import an existing favicon set from Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator, or from the WordPress Site Icon.
• User Role Editor: Import roles and custom capabilities from the standalone User Role Editor plugin, or from a JSON export.

No. Everything runs on your own server by default — no telemetry, no usage tracking. The only data that ever leaves your site is what you set up yourself: the SMTP module sends your emails through the relay you choose, the Cache module can run a Google PageSpeed audit when you click the button, and Fatal Error Recovery can email me the errors this plugin causes if you switch that option on. Nothing else.

That option lives in Fatal Error Recovery → Settings and is off until you tick it. Once on, an error raised inside a Blaminhor Essentials file is emailed to me so I can fix it; errors from other plugins or from your theme are never sent. A report contains the error message, the file and line inside the plugin, and the plugin, WordPress and PHP versions. File paths, email addresses, IP addresses and credentials are stripped out first, and your site address is never included — only a one-way identifier that cannot be traced back to your site. The same error is reported once per plugin version, five reports per version at most. Untick the option and everything stops immediately.

Your data is safe by default. Deactivating keeps every setting untouched, so you can switch the plugin back on right where you left off. Even deleting the plugin removes nothing unless you first turn on the "Delete all data on uninstall" option — and your posts, pages and media are never touched either way. If you do opt in, uninstalling cleans up the plugin's own options, tables and files so nothing is left behind.

No. Turning a module off only stops it from running — your redirects, SEO meta, form entries and settings are all kept, so you can switch it back on later exactly as it was. Data is only removed if you delete the whole plugin with the "Delete all data on uninstall" option enabled.

Yes. The Backup module creates separate archives for database, plugins, themes and uploads. You can schedule automatic backups (daily, weekly, monthly) and set retention limits.

The plugin automatically creates a safety backup before any restore. If something goes wrong, you can undo it with one click.

Yes. You can configure multiple relays with automatic fallback. If the primary one fails, it tries the next in your list.

Yes. The Content Duplicator fully supports all major page builders, including Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Brizy and Oxygen.

Yes. For example, the Post Types Order module lets you choose which roles can reorder content (Administrator, Editor or Author), and the User Role Editor gives you fine-grained control over every capability.

The Fatal Error Recovery module detects PHP fatal errors and gives you a secret recovery URL to deactivate the problematic plugin — no FTP access needed.

Eleven. English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Russian and Turkish are fully translated; Dutch and Indonesian are partially translated, with anything untranslated falling back to English.

Yes, on a per-site basis. Each site keeps its own settings, its own database tables and its own backups (Backup, Domain Changer and Database Optimizer store archives in a separate per-site folder), so sites stay fully isolated. Network activation, deactivation and uninstall apply cleanly to every site, and sites created later are set up automatically. Two notes: server-level browser cache and GZIP rules live in the shared root .htaccess and are managed by a network administrator (PHP page caching still applies on every site); and there is no central Network Admin screen yet, so you configure each site from its own dashboard.
