How Shortcode Redirect works
Show full descriptionShow less
Shortcode Redirect sends visitors from any post or page to another URL. No settings screens, no database tables — just drop it in where you need it.
There are two ways to use it, and both produce the exact same front-end output.
1. The Redirect block (new in 1.1.0)
In the block editor, add the Redirect block from the Widgets category. The block sidebar exposes three simple fields:
Destination URL — where the visitor should end up
Seconds to wait — how long to pause before redirecting (0 = immediate)
Show “redirecting” message — toggle the visible “Please wait…” line on or off
The editor shows a live summary of what the block will do, e.g. “Redirects to https://example.com — after 3 seconds · message shown”. No shortcode syntax to memorize.
2. The classic shortcode
Paste into any post or page:
[redirect url='https://example.com' sec='3']
Shortcode attributes:
url — destination URL (required)
sec — seconds to wait before redirecting (optional, default 0)
show_message — set to false, 0, no, or off to hide the “redirecting” message (optional, default true, new in 1.1.0)
Example with all three:
