Shortcode Redirect
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: [redirect url='https://example.com' sec='5' show_message='false'] Same output either way Block or shortcode, the front-end renders the same single tag (plus the optional one-line message). No JavaScript. No server-side redirect. No third-party tracking. Existing [redirect] shortcodes from earlier versions continue to work unchanged. Features Block editor support — native “Redirect” block (new in 1.1.0) Classic shortcode — [redirect] works exactly like it always has Optional delay — choose how many seconds to wait before redirecting Silent mode — hide the “redirecting…” message for a clean, blank-page redirect (new in 1.1.0) Lightweight — a single PHP file plus a small block; no settings, no tables, no dependencies Backwards compatible — upgrading from 1.0.x is drop-in
Spectra Legacy – Gutenberg Blocks
This plugin was previously called Spectra. It’s now Spectra Legacy. Nothing on your website has changed. Your blocks, pages, settings, and content all continue to work exactly as they did before. There’s nothing to migrate and nothing to configure. Spectra Legacy vs. Spectra Blocks We’ve split Spectra into two products. Spectra Legacy is this plugin — built for existing Spectra users. It receives security and compatibility updates and full support, but no new features. Spectra Blocks is a new, separate plugin where all new feature development happens, aimed at new installs and anyone who wants ongoing additions. If you’re already using this plugin, no action is needed; installing Spectra Blocks is entirely optional whenever you’re ready. If you’re already using this plugin, you don’t need to do anything.
