<p>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.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<ol>
<li>Upload the entire <code>simple-urls-legacy</code> folder to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
<li>DO NOT change the name of the <code>simple-urls-legacy</code> folder</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress</li>
<li>Navigate to <code>Settings > Permalinks</code>. That’s it. Just open that screen and WordPRess automatically flushes redirects. Trust me.</li>
<li>Navigate to the <code>Simple URLs Legacy</code> menu</li>
<li>Create a new URL, or manage existing URLs.</li>
<li>Publish and use the URLs however you want!</li>
</ol>
