Hey, I've been looking for a wordpress plugin that cloaks aff links after writing the simple php redirect myself and realising the .htaccess file placed in the out folder wont work because of the wordpress .htaccess file (i think) that shows the page as a 404 page. Eg i want mysite.com/out/google to go to Google, so i set up the redirect in the out folder all going through index.php using htaccess to find out which site the user is being redirected to, however the page shows as a 404 page because the .htaccess in the root folder (the one that is used for wordpress) still affects it, and the post "google" in catergory "out" cannot be found.

Does anyone know of any plugins? cheers

Dangerous play man, re-directing the forum members to another site in order to ask a question that we can answer right here.

Slevin,

Its fairly easy create a php file in your theme directory, label it re-direct or some shit easy for you to remember then include the following code.

Code: 
<?php
header( 'Location: YOUR URL GOES HERE' ) ;
?>

Then in your pages just link to that page, it will do a redirect to whatever page you would like, while only showing that your pointing to this certain page.
 
I have a free WP plugin that does this all from within wordpress and also keeps track of click-throughs, but I guess I'm not allowed to post a link to the page about it.

You can't post links for your first 10 posts. Now that you have 10, you should be able to share your link.
