You don’t need a new page to link to different website.
Do you mean how do you link to the new page from a different website?
Well I have a bar on the top, which has buttons like, home, gallery, contact us, etc.
I want to add another button, (which happens when I add a new page)
But the hyperlink to that button needs to be a external site
Why not? I want to take the user from a buttom on the main page to another website?
Yeah, but you’re using deception to do it, and the search engines will likely ban your for life for doing that.
Why not just add a link in the sidebar that describes the site, or mention it in an article if it’s relevant to your content.
Are you asking me to help you link farm? No Way Jose!
You are overthinking this.
I just need a button which takes the user to my gallery.

I definitely second that plugin. I use it quite a bit.

So why didn’t you say that to begin with, instead of trolling?

Not that it matters, but I didn’t really get that feeling at all when I read this. I think shivam1_2’s question was a perfectly legitimate request. I understood it right away, and James obviously did as well. I think you may have just misinterpreted the question.
You both must be psychic.
Anyway,
How can he have another site with his gallery on it when he can’t even put a link on the one he has?! LMAO
And would he have to use a plugin to put a simple link up???
Lol, what next; Plugins to put punctuation on your sentences?
Seriously, it’s getting so that you can’t throw a dead cat around here without hitting a plugin.
Are all webmasters of today unable to write simple html and css?
I could start a new blog on the subject. I call it Read More…

The user has a navigation bar on his blog that automatically lists all pages. It’s a common feature in most themes. The user wanted to know how to add a page (so that it appeared in the nav bar) that redirected to an external URL (the gallery).
The plugin allows you to redirect any page to any URL, which is the perfect solution for folks with these automated nav bars when they don’t want to mess with the code.

Not all bloggers are webmasters.

I can’t speak for James, but thank you for noticing. Yes. Yes, I am. However, that service will cost you $100.00 per flat rate hour in my neck of the woods. …And I can assure you that this was not a psychic experience. 🙂

Oh, man… I don’t want you to think I’m ganging up on you, because I’m not. I actually consider this a worthwhile and valid topic of discussion, so that being said: Perhaps examining the plugin that was referenced will change your thinking a little. Take a minute and see what it actually does. Then examine that benefit from a “non-coders” perspective. Not everyone wants to, or needs to, know how to manually add a navigation tab and hard code a link in a .php file. It’s not like putting “a simple link up” in a post. It involves editing the code for navigation in a theme file.
Why the heck should someone who isn’t a “coder” have to attempt that task when there are tools (plugins) readily available to help them accomplish it in just about 60 seconds? I just fail to see any “LMAO” in the topic.

Isn’t that bad for SEO?
I thought the search engines considered that a gateway page, and hand out negative points for doing it.
Anyway,
My question still stands; Why didn’t he just say he wanted to link to his gallery?
I asked why he wanted to link to an external site and he just replied “Why not”?
Then, after the fact he says he wants to link to his gallery.
To me that looks suspiciously like a hidden agenda.
That’s my official statement.
