Auto-redirects link format posts to a URL specified in the content area.
Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Redirect Link Format version 1.0 as active, updated 9y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.7.
If you’ve ever written a post using the ‘link’ post format, you know that the experience leaves a little something to be desired in most themes.
The sole purpose of this plugin is to add a little magic to how your users interact with these link posts by simply redirecting to the given URL when somebody visits your post. That’s it.
The redirect is only triggered on published and scheduled posts of any type where the post format is set as ‘link’.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 4.7.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
