It says to add ’redirect’ to the custom field. Should there be a redirect option in the drop-down menu in custom fields in the post page? because I don’t see one or are we to add some code/ shortcode to the actual post, a more detailed description of how this works would be very helpful. Screenshots would be nice. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4789e61b8506c11146fa00c247847e7e4e660fce95873f43da1a92d47220376e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Pretty good](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pretty-good-161/)󠁿 [fdecicco](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fdecicco/) May 31, 2018 Simple and well done Thank you. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6d150fc5042b9d14cdfa725039d3dbc51e3d762bb8ab2a3a7660ff4d1ed67215? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No Idea how it works? how to redirect is there short code or what????](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-idea-how-it-works-how-to-redirect-is-there-short-code-or-what/)󠁿 [Moeed Rais](https://profiles.wordpress.org/moeedbaloch/) June 23, 2017 2 replies can you please explain i want to redirect my post to another post? but how with the help of this plugin?? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e1697364bb74543abcb428e7c1b4937a1eb95079df1a396cf9cb7d8f1ae76051? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does what it says great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-it-says-great/)󠁿 [Matt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matttaylor/) January 1, 2017 Does what it says great ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c140fc9c4eb7c5dd51a0afbacdb28d5e37228e8c9624510ce4a3c1594cccbd86? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-443/)󠁿 [raceman59](https://profiles.wordpress.org/raceman59/) October 13, 2016 Does exactly what it says.
