## Beschrijving

Allows users to point WordPress objects (posts, pages, custom post types) to a URL
of their choosing, which is particularly useful for injecting non-WordPress content
into loops. The object appears normally in any loop output, but visitors to the 
object will be redirected to the specified URL. The plugin also allows you to choose
the type of redirect, either temporary (302), or permanent (301).

Through a filter, the External Permalinks Redux meta box can easily be added to 
custom post types. There is also a function available for use with WordPress’ `add_meta_box`
function.

This plugin was originally written for use on WordPress.com VIP. It is inspired 
by and backwards-compatible with Mark Jaquith’s Page Links To plugin, meaning users
can switch between plugins without risk of losing any existing external links.

This plugin is translation-ready.

## FAQ

### How can I add support for my custom post type?

Using the `epr_post_types` filter, one can modify the default array of object types(`
post` and `page`) to include additional custom post types or remove the plugin from
one of the default post types.

### What other filters does this plugin include?

 * `epr_meta_key_target` – modify the meta key associated with the external URL
 * `epr_meta_key_type` – modify the meta key associated with the redirect type
 * `epr_status_codes` – modify array of available status codes used when redirect
   is issued

Works as expected. Maybe you should consider adding the link target.

 [Howard Harkness](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chltx/) 1 mei 2017

This plugin does almost exactly what I need out of the box, but I wanted for the
URL redirect to go to a new page/tab. Turns out that was easier than I expected.
I just had to add the target=”_blank” to my content.php file in my child theme. 
Thank you for saving me a LOT of time!

### 󠀁[Perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-3905/)󠁿

 [bryantighe](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bryantighe/) 28 maart 2017

Simple yet easy functionality – this is exactly what I was looking for. I was thinking
about writing this type of plugin myself, because we have a bunch of content on 
other parts of our domain outside of wordpress. But this plugin came up in the search,
and I couldn't have written it better myself! Works like a charm!
