This plugin provides a method for content managers to turn standard posts into redirects to external websites. It is designed for sites that curate or reference external content, such as news aggregators, resource lists, or portfolios, where the primary goal is to send visitors to another source.
Post Type Selection: Administrators can choose exactly which post types (like posts, pages, or custom types) are allowed to have an external permalink, preventing accidental use on content that should remain on-site.
Link Attribute Control: The plugin offers automatic or manual handling of HTML link attributes. In automatic mode, it uses JavaScript to add target="_blank" and rel="noopener" to links for security and user experience. For developers, manual functions provide precise control over the generated anchor tags.
Single Page Content Injection: For posts that act solely as redirects, you can define a custom HTML anchor element that replaces the entire post content. This uses placeholders for the dynamic link and its attributes, ensuring a clean, consistent output.
Editor Integration: A dedicated "External Link" section is added to the post editor, making it simple for authors to input the destination URL and choose whether it opens in a new browser window.
