## Description

WP Post Redirect allows you to seamlessly redirect individual posts to external 
URLs or internal content. Once activated, a new metabox appears on the post edit
screen, letting you specify a custom redirect URL or search for an internal post/
page. Great for affiliate links, content curation, or moving content.

**Features:**
 * Add a redirect URL to any post via a simple metabox. * Search and
select internal posts or pages for redirection. * Set custom HTTP Status codes (
301, 307, 308) globally or per post. * Option to open redirects in a new tab and
allow `rel="nofollow"`. * Highlight posts with active redirections in the admin 
area. * Dashboard options page to manage all redirections with CSV Export. * Backend
column to mark posts with redirect enabled. * Lightweight and easy to use. * Fully
compatible with the latest WordPress versions.

 * Manage and monitor all your links in one place.

## Installation

 1. Upload the entire `wp-post-redirect` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Edit any post and use the new “Redirect URL” metabox to set a redirect.
 4. Save your post. Visitors will be redirected to the specified URL.

## FAQ

### Where do I set the redirect URL?

On the post edit screen, look for the “Redirect” metabox. You can choose between“
External URL” or “Internal Content”.

### Can I remove a redirect?

Yes, simply switch to External and clear the URL, or remove the Internal selection,
then update the post.

### Does this affect SEO?

By default, redirection is 301 (Moved Permanently), which is best for SEO. You can
change this to 307 or 308 in the settings or per-post.

Plugin that works great. One star less for the absence of update.

Excellent plugin. Just what I was searching for so long. 4 star as the redirection
can not be opened in a new window. Do not want to use another plugin for redirection.

Plugin author should consider adding an option to open the external link in a new
tab/window.
