* Highlight posts with active redirections in the admin area.
* Dashboard options page to manage all redirections.
* Backend column to mark posts with redirect enabled.
* Lightweight and easy to use.
* Fully compatible with the latest WordPress versions.

Installation

  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

  4. Save your post. Visitors will be redirected to the specified URL.
