Either way will work in a post or a page or your theme, it doesn’t really matter.
The Blogroll/Links pages expect complete URLs.
Anyway, I recommend always using complete URLs, with http:// and everything. It makes things easier in the long run.
I actually prefer starting the links with / rather than http:// in case there’s a need to move the database (to test or whatever).
So if you want to link to page2 which is a child of page 1, you can specify its URL as “/page1/page2/”. [Note the trailing / for WordPress “pages”.] Relative links work, too.
Hi All,
Thanks for the replies. What I am trying to do is create a new page like the about, contact us, etc called ‘forums’ and link that page to my smf forums.
I will give these suggestions a try again since I cant access the admin page currently.
I’ll post back my results.
Okay so Im back at work and in front of wordpress again. What I am trying to do is create a new page that actually links to our forum. I realize I can create a link using blogroll but I am trying to create the link via a standard page like the ‘About’ page that comes by default with most wordpress themes. I want to create a page called ‘Forums’ and have that link to /forums/index.php like a standard html link.
Thanks

That plugin will allow you to make any Page or Post redirect somewhere else automatically. All you have to do is install and activate the plugin. Then make a new Page and give it a custom field with a key of “redirect” and a value of the URL you want it to redirect to. Anybody going to that page will receive a 302 redirect to your URL.
