The plugin instructions are very simple. Add a shortcode to the post/page that looks like the following `[ redirect url='http://somesite.com' sec='3']` the url= part is where you define the URL to redirect the user to and the sec= part is where you define how many seconds to wait before redirecting. #### Donate [If you like this plugin please consider donating](http://www.memberpress.com/?aff=20) #### Features * Works on pages and posts * NO settings or configurations to deal with * Define a URL to redirect the user to * Define how many seconds to wait before re-directing the user. ### Note Shortcode redirect should work with older versions of WordPress as well but was not tested with anything older than 2.7 ## Installation 1. Upload ‘shortcode-redirect.zip’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Add the shortcode on the pages/posts that you want to redirect. Shortcodes should look like `[redirect url='http://somesite.com' sec='5']` where the url= part is the URL to redirect to, and sec= is the seconds to wait before redirecting the page. 4. Done! ## FAQ * How do I get rid of the “Please wait while you are being re-directed…” line? – Later I will have an option for this, but for now, just edit the scr.php file and delete line 36 which contains that text then save the file. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b9a182d38d921269ac718934cd3409ec69a6030d4ab9b3a12fa45da7acc870b2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works WP 6.5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-wp-6-5-2/)󠁿 [flyingkites](https://profiles.wordpress.org/flyingkites/) April 9, 2024 Just wish there was an option to open in a new tab. Work around was to open the redirected page in a new tab instead. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/57d54708ccd1f17cc14056ceea3e119b39cb32607e1553c0bb8f5ab18437d961? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Exactly what I needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exactly-what-i-needed-921/)󠁿 [chicagola](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chicagola/) August 24, 2023 It is simple and easy to use.
