    Hello,
    Im kind of new with wordpress so if seem like im confused is because i am 🙂
    My question is, when i add a page from the admin site to my wordpress blog, how can i make this page point to some other site? Basically I created a page called Gallery. When the user clicks on it, I want it to go to a different website. Any way to do this?

    Thanks

    why not just hard code the link to the gallery in the sidebar instead?

    short of getting into the mess of redirects, you could also just put a link to the gallery IN the page content, but i think hard coding the link in the sidebar is a better option…

    As Lady D mentions, one option is to just modify your theme.

    However, that means you’ll have to modify any other themes you might use in the future. If that’s a possibility, grab the “Redirectify” plugin from this page: http://redalt.com/downloads/

    Install it as a plugin, activate it.
    Create the new WP “Page” and add the proper custom keyword (the plugin comes with docs to read) and you’re set.

    There are at least two plugins that do that.
    Redirectify by Owen http://www.redalt.com/downloads/
    and if I remember well, davidchait also has one in his CG powerpack.

    Actually, not in the powerpack at the moment, it’s CG-Redirect. activate it, then add to the post content:
    <redirect [url] />
    … with an actual URL instead of [url] of course! 😉
