<p>Have you ever had to give someone a shortened version of a URL? Maybe you’re a podcaster, and you can’t say “visit mydomain.com/2008/01/03/my-post-with-a-long-url/ for more info.”<br />
Wouldn’t it be useful if you could just say “go to mydomain.com/go/mycoolpost/ ?” Sure, you <em>could</em> use a service like tinyurl.com, but that’s still not too great if you need the URL for a podcast. It’s still awkward to read-out “tinyurl.com/27asr9,” isn’t it? It’s less professional too.<br />
GoCodes let’s you create shortcut URLs to anywhere on the internet, right from your WordPress Admin.<br />
The plugin is also useful for masking affiliate program URLs.</p>

<h3>Origin</h3>
<p>We are proud that original base of this plugin is a fork of GoCodes by redwall_hp (Not available for download and Supported currently).<br />
We worked on the plugin before before releasing it is “WPNeon GoCodes2”, stripped down some code to make it a simple & lightweight.</p>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<h4>WP Super Cache</h4>
<p>There seems to be a conflict with the WP Super Cache plugin where a redirect will only work once before the cache is cleared. There are a couple of workarounds:</p>
<ol>
<li>Add “index.php” on a new line in the “Rejected URLs” field of the WP Super Cache options page. yourdomain.com/ will be cached still, but /index.php won’t.</li>
<li>Frederick of frederickding.com put together another method. Add this line to your .htaccess file above the WP Super Cache line: “RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.<em>gocode=.</em>” It should look something like this:</li>
</ol>
<p>RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.<em>gocode=.</em><br />
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]</p>
