## Description

Edel Go Redirects lets you create short, memorable links on your own domain, such
as `https://example.com/go/course`, and redirect them to any URL. Each redirect 
is counted, so you can see which link is used the most.

Typical uses:

 * Put a short link in a book, a slide deck or a printed flyer instead of a long
   affiliate URL
 * Use a different slug for each place you share the same destination (website, 
   social media, email) and compare the counts
 * Change the destination later without editing the book or the post that contains
   the link

Features:

 * Add, update and delete links from **Tools > Go Redirects**
 * Redirect count per link, with a reset button
 * Change the URL prefix (default `go`) if the path is already in use
 * Links can also be added from code with the `edel_go_links` filter
 * No custom database tables. Everything is stored in three options and removed 
   on uninstall

## Installation

 1. Upload the `edel-go-redirects` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it 
    from **Plugins > Add New Plugin**.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to **Tools > Go Redirects**, enter a slug and a destination URL, and click **
    Save link**.
 4. Open `https://your-site.example/go/your-slug` to test the redirect.

## FAQ

### Does it need pretty permalinks?

Yes. The plugin matches the request path, so permalinks must be set to anything 
other than “Plain”.

### What if I already have a page at /go/?

Change the prefix in **Tools > Go Redirects > Settings**. For example, set it to`
l` and your links become `/l/slug`.

### Can I add links from code?

Yes. Use the `edel_go_links` filter:

    ```
    add_filter('edel_go_links', function ($links) {
        $links['docs'] = 'https://example.com/docs/';
        return $links;
    });
    ```

Links added by code are shown in the table but cannot be deleted from the screen.

### Is the redirect permanent (301) or temporary (302)?

Temporary (302), so that browsers keep asking the server and every visit is counted.

### What is removed on uninstall?

The three options that store the links, the prefix and the counts.
