Page Links To

About Page Links To

This plugin allows you to link a WordPress page to a custom URL of your choice and redirect visitors from the original URL to the new one. It is useful for creating navigational links to non-WordPress sections of your site, publishing content from other blogs or services in your WordPress posts stream, linking to products on other retailer's sites with affiliate codes, and creating "pretty URLs" for complex addresses. You can contribute or report bugs on Github.

Frequently asked questions

What does this plugin do?

This plugin allows you to make a WordPress page (or post or custom post type) link to a URL of your choosing, instead of its WordPress URL. It also will redirect people who go to the old URL to the new one you've chosen.

What are some common uses for this plugin?

Some common uses include setting up navigational links to non-WordPress sections of your site or off-site resources, publishing content on other blogs or services like Medium and having them show up in your WordPress posts stream, linking to products on other retailer's sites (possibly with an affiliate code) and having them appear like products in your store, and creating a 'pretty URL' for complex URLs.
