## Installation

 1. Backup WordPress
 2. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the
    plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 4. Use the WooCommerce->Redirection page to configure the plugin

## FAQ

### Why should I use this?

Deleting products is bad for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and setting redirects
through apache can lead to a huge htaccess.

### Why are fields on products not loading?

If you have ACF installed already, you may need to sync the fields, as they are 
stored via json to reduce db calls. We built this around ACF to reduce development
times and to prevent adding unnecessary code if you already have it installed.

### Why does this use ACF?

Mainly to reduce the amount of time in development, but also to save resources. 
If you already have Advanced Custom Fields installed, then you don’t have to worry
about additional code executing on product admin pages.
