I’m currently using the GeneratePress theme, it’s pretty lightweight which has been a plus.
Thank you for the code snippet. I will give that a try!
I was continuing to search on this functionality as well and came across two plug-ins that may get the job done. I think the code solution is going to be more optimized in the long run. But, in case there are non-coders in the future who are trying to do something similar, these two plug-ins look promising:
- External Permalinks Redux “allows users to point WordPress objects (posts, pages, custom post types) to a URL of their choosing.” It looks for items in the loop and then redirects as needed.
- Page Links To “allows you to make a WordPress page or post link to a URL of your choosing.”
I believe the Link post format is built in to the theme (no plug-in). The first theme I can recall including it as a feature was Twenty Eleven. There is some explanation in this article, where the author/developer indicates it’s “not CSS modifications, or anything that requires an upgrade or any special skills.” (yay, marketing copy)
I was also able to find a technical reference on integrating the Custom Post Types with a plug-in.
Depending on your thoughts on this, I could try to examine the theme code to see how the loop queries/renders details and then look at potential ways to inject from there.
I’m not familiar with filter functions but can explore that as well.
Based on your expertise, would you try the route of another plug-in to do filtering, tweak a theme, or take a look at the plug-in code itself?
Thanks again for the guidance and wisdom!
