Wordpress Tip: Make Your WP Pages Link To Any URL

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

Have you ever wanted your Wordpress Pages to link to something besides a page? Perhaps another website, a particular post, or an archive of a category?

Dave Stewart made this great page template that will redirect your Wordpress Page to any url. Here’s how you do it:

1. Download the Page Redirect Template and put it in your theme directory
2. Just create a new page, type in the url you want to go in the editor
3. Select Page Redirect from the Page Template menu

Now this page will be included with other pages that are rendered by the wp_list_pages() function, but go to any url. Sure you could code those links into your template, but this make it pretty easy to manage.
