About this plugin
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 (or “normal”) URL to the new one you’ve chosen.
Common uses:
- Set up navigational links to non-WordPress sections of your site or to off-site resources.
- Publish content on other blogs (or other services, like Medium) but have them show up in your WordPress posts stream. All you have to supply is a title and a URL. The post title will link to the content on the other site.
- For store operators, you can link to products on other retailer’s sites (maybe with an affiliate code) but have them show up like they’re products in your store.
- Create a “pretty URL” for something complicated. Say you have https://example.com/crazy-store-url.cgi?search=productId&sourceJunk=cruft … just create a WordPress page called “My Store” and use Page Links To to point it to the ugly URL. Give people the new URL: https://example.com/my-store/ and it will redirect them!

Questions
- How do I make it so that a page doesn’t link to anything? I’d like to use it as a dummy container.
Just use “#” as the link. That won’t go anywhere.
- Can this be used to repoint categories to an arbitrary URL?
Not currently. Please contact me if you’re interested in that functionality.
- My links are sending me to http://myblog.com/site-i-wanted-to-link-to.com … why?
If you want to link to a full URL, you must include the
http://portion.- Can I link to relative URLs for URLs on the same domain?
Yes. Linking to
/my-photos.phpis a good idea, as it’ll still work if you move your site to a different domain.
