[okfn-help] Redirecting links in Wordpress

[Kat Braybrooke]

Hi Jonathan,

Did a bit of investigative work on the OKFN.org and OGDcamp.org WP admins,
and it looks like in fact we have 'Quick Page/Post Redirect' installed on
those themes, not the one Tom mentioned below (for some reason). Here is
the plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin/

Once you've downloaded it, it gives you an easy set of options below the
feed for each page such as:
Make Redirect *Active*. (check to turn on)
Open redirect link in a *new window.*
Add *rel=\"nofollow\"* to redirect link.
*Show* the Redirect URL below in the link instead of this page URL

This should allow you to do the actions you've asked for below. (To try it
out feel free to check it on one of the OGDcamp pages).

Hope this helps more :)

Kat
