   Hi

   since I am using WP Super Cache my redirect doesn't work anymore.
   I am using two custom fields for optional defining a redirect adress to which the page can be redirected automatically.
   I have placed the following code in my themes page.php:

   // redirect via custom field
            global $post; // < -- globalize, just in case
            // redirect to any www adress
            if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'redirect to www', true)) :
                    $redirect_field1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'redirect to www:', true);
                    wp_redirect(clean_url($redirect_field1), 301);
            // redirect to a specific ID
            elseif(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'redirect to id', true)) :
                    $redirect_field2 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'redirect to id:', true);
                    wp_redirect(get_permalink($redirect_field2), 301);
            endif;
            // normaler WP Header
            get_header();

   It seems that the redirect to www adresses still work but when I input an id for the redirect the page is loaded which should be actually redirected. When I turn off Super Cache everything works fine!

   Any ideas?
   I would like to know if there is a workaround für my page.php
   oder maybe I can disable caching for specific pages by using a custom field input.

   It won't work because that code isn't executed on cached pages. See the FAQ entry on "Why doesn't WP UserOnline, Popularity Contest, WP Postratings or plugin X not work or update on my blog now?" in the readme.txt

   Thank you for your reply.

   It means my method will obviously not work on cached pages. I think it can be the right way to exclude the pages from caching on which I want to redirect.

   I am not able to tell super-cache not to cache specific pages.

   Can you tell me what I have to write into the field for exclusion?
   I have a page with this URL:
   http://www.mypage.com/me/about.html

   I don't know the right syntax.

   "about.html" should do it. Did you try that?

   it seems to work now ...
   I don't know why it seems that I was to stupid for this simple step.
   What you told me was the first thing I tried because I saw it on the option page.

   Anyway,
   thank you very much! :)

   The plugin is really great!

   ... there are still some questions.

   I added /die-akademie/die-essenz.html to the textfield for the pages that shall not be cached and it works.

   You write in the option page:

   Add here strings (not a filename) that forces a page not to be cached.

   Why not a filename?
   I was wondering why there is an entry like this:

   index\.php

   What does the backslash means and is index\.php not a filename?

   ... and one more:

   Do you see any way to avoid a page/post caching by PHP in any template file?

   I am working a lot with custom fields and I would like to control by custom fields if a page is going to be cached or not.

   Yeah, just write some code that checks for the custom field and set the constant DONOTCACHEPAGE. The page won't be cached.
