I think (just for searchbots happiness) it would be better add a 301 header before redirect:

// do the link
—–> Header(”HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently” );
Header(”Location: $link”);
die(”);

thanks a lot for your page-redirect-template. It solved my need in just one second!

Here is an even simpler solution. If your permalink options are not set to the default option, just make the permalink the link that you want the page to be redirected to. I don’t know how deep you can go but it’s worth a shot.

Hi Murtaza,
Sorry - I can’t help you there! Page Redirect does one thing and one thing only.
Cheers, Dave

hi. it works great, 1 question from me:

Is it possible to redirect the page to an alternative site IN a new windows?

1000 thanks

Neat trick. My only suggestion is that $HTTP_SERVER_VARS is, I believe, deprecated in PHP 5. People should be using $_SERVER. I made this modification and it works fine.

Thanks, though. This is way simpler than the Redirect plugin I found.

Hmm. Not sure why it’s not working for you, as it does here. To test, I’ve added a new page to my top links, “Dave Stewart”, and that’s just “http://www.davestewart.co.uk”, and it works fine. Check it out, as I’ll delete it in a day or so.

Another option you could use would be to add an Apache Redirect Directive to an .htaccess file in your root directory, which would redirect traffic at the server level, rather than the page level: http://www.base64.co.uk/apache-redirect-directive/

And if you want to email me, feel free.

http://www.mydomain.com

just like that (with “mydomain” replaced with a real one, of course.)
