Page Links To vs Simple URLs Legacy

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! Contribute You can contribute (or report bugs) on Github.

Simple URLs Legacy is a fork of the plugin by Nathan Rice. A URL management system to create, manage, and track outbound links from your site. Usage Simple URLs Legacy adds a new custom post type to your admin menu, where you can create, edit, delete, and manage URLs. It stores click counts in the form of a custom field on that custom post type, so it scales really well. And, by avoiding page based redirects, which is the current trend in masking affiliate links, we avoid any issues with permalink conflicts, and therefore avoid any performance issues.
