Managing redirects in WordPress shouldn’t require complicated settings or additional configuration pages. Sometimes, you simply want a post, page, or custom post type to point visitors to a different URL.
That’s exactly what Linkoryx – Custom Post & Page Links is designed to do.
Linkoryx allows you to replace the default WordPress URL of any post, page, or public custom post type with a custom URL of your choice. When visitors access the original WordPress URL, they are automatically redirected to the destination URL you specify.
Why Redirect a Post or Page?
There are many situations where redirecting content is useful:
- Redirect a page to an external website.
- Link a menu item to a third-party service.
- Redirect outdated content to a newer resource.
- Send visitors to a landing page hosted on another domain.
- Point custom post types to external resources.
- Preserve existing links while changing content destinations.
