Hello.
Thanks for your plugin.
I wonder if there is a way to redirect links with an anchor (#) so I can redirect into a specific part of a page.
Thanks.
]]>I have a custom post of type ctc_event which holds calendar events. I wish to find the next event (after today) for a particular category. I can do the category filter (see above) but I can’t work out how to date select or order by the custom field that holds the next event start time (_ctc_event_start_date_end_time). This date is not the same as the published date and will be updated by a wp-cron job if it is set as recurring and the event date has passed. I would ideally like to select the first post with _ctc_event_start_date_end_time >= today ordered by _ctc_event_start_date_end_time. Am I expecting too much from the plugin?
]]>Hi,
Congrats for that great plugin.
I am already able to redirect to a custom type post.
Now I need to redirect to this CTP but only where custom field (made with ACF plugin) “A” has the value “x”.
Would you know how to do that ?
thank you,
Regards,
LawK

Redirect URL to Post – WordPress Plugin
(https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/redirect-url-to-post/)
Problem-discription:
Total quantity of blog-articles = 3
open 1st-blog-arcticle
1st-blog-arcticle with link to: https://www.example.com?redirect_to=next
Click on the link -> everything works fine -> 2nd-blog-arcticle appears
2nd-blog-arcticle with link to: https://www.example.com?redirect_to=next
Click on the link -> everything works fine -> 3rd-blog-arcticle appears
3rd-blog-arcticle with link to: https://www.example.com?redirect_to=next
Click on the link -> PROBLEM "nothing more found"
-> After clicking the link, it redirects to my 404-site
-> Problem is logical, because the 3rd-blog-arcticle is the last arcticle!
BUT, how to make infinite loop?
-> If reaching the last blog-article and clicking "Next" then rewind to the first blog-arcticle?
-------
Possible Solutions (not really working / only workarounds):
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">1st try to solve:</span>
The 1st-blog-arcticle has the e.g. ID=5651
I've tried to use the additional Parameter "&default_redirect_to=5651"
https://www.example.com?redirect_to=next&default_redirect_to=5651
Yes it works, but if you can't use it when using:
1) Categories, because each category has a different first arcticle -> in that cause you need multiple link-destinations.
2) Elementor-Single-Page-Templates (same reason)
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">2nd try to solve:</span>
https://www.example.com/my-cpt-name?redirect_to=random&each_once=rewind
Under random-conditions infinity-loop works perfectly!
But I don't want random-order, I need normal ascending-order.
Any ideas how to realize infinity-loop using "?redirect_to=next" ?
THX in advanced for supporting!Greeting from Spain,
I’m currently using your “Redirect URL to Post” plugin on my website, which is dedicated to teaching Spanish at different proficiency levels. The plugin’s functionality, particularly the lock parameter, has been instrumental in setting up a system where content is rotated every seven days. This setup allows my students to access new lessons weekly, which is fantastic.
However, I’ve encountered a challenge that I hope you can help me with. My site is structured to cater to three groups of learners: beginners, intermediate, and advanced. Each group has a dedicated section on the dashboard, and I aim to rotate the linked lesson for each group on specific days of the week – beginners on Monday, intermediate on Wednesday, and advanced on Friday (see image). While I can set the lock parameter to 604,800 seconds to ensure the link remains static for seven days, I can’t figure out how to make each link update on its respective day without them all changing at the same time.
Is there a way to configure the plugin or possibly extend its functionality to achieve this? Ideally, each link would be locked for seven days but would only update on its designated day of the week, regardless of when I initially set them up. This functionality would greatly enhance the learning experience by providing a consistent, weekly update schedule that aligns with the curriculum’s structure.
Thank you for your time and for developing such a helpful plugin. I look forward to your guidance on this matter.
Best regards,
]]>Hello Christoph,
I am excited about your plugin, I already (successfully) created few Random Post buttons for my website I am building,
but I am struggling with creating buttons for which I need to exclude “Post Format”, specifically “Post Format – Link” (the theme of my website offers Standard, Video, Audio, Gallery and Link Post Format options).
I haven′t found the solution neither in the documentation nor in this forum (maybe I just missed it?), and I′m no professional in this field, so could you please tell me what exactly I need to add to the URL to exclude Link posts?
Thank you kindly for your help, and for the plugin
]]>Hi, I’d like to know if the plugin changes any fundamental files like .htaccess file on my WP site. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
]]>I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire about the plugin, which I am currently using on my WordPress site. First, I want to express my appreciation for your work on this plugin; it has been instrumental in enhancing the functionality of my site.
I am reaching out to ask about support for custom post types. Specifically, I am interested in using the plugin’s redirect to a random post feature with a custom post type called WP_MANGA, which I use to manage manga content on my site.(I use Madara)
Currently, I am unsure how to configure the plugin to work with this custom post type, as it seems primarily designed for standard posts. My goal is to create a “Surprise Me” button that redirects users to a random manga post, enhancing their browsing experience on my site.
Could you please advise if the plugin supports custom post types and, if so, how I might configure it to work with WP_MANGA? Alternatively, if yhe plugin does not currently support this functionality, do you have any recommendations for achieving this effect, or might there be plans to include custom post type support in a future update?
What a wonderful plugin! Only issue I am having is that I am trying to exclude the “Uncategorized” category from the pool of random posts, as the content that falls under that is boring archive stuff.
Here are my current parameters that I thought was working, but does not seem to be excluding properly as this post just popped up on my latest test: https://thefoodsection.com/join-us-on-may-15-for-spirited-brunch/
https://thefoodsection.com/?redirect_to=random&post_type=post&category__not_in=uncategorized
I figure I am not using that last parameter correctly – any help woulf be much appreciated!

]]>Your plugin is simply gorgeous! Unfortunately, a plugin slows down redirects a lot: Yet Another Stars Rating.
I contacted their support, but they say “they have tested thousands of sites with no performance issues”
Is there anything you can do with redirects?
How can I prove that it is their plugin that is causing the problem?

]]>Is it possible to create a parameter based on custom field (ACF)? I’m creating pages that include quiz questions and want to use redirect plugin to either show pages that the user got the question correct (for example, custom field says “correct”) or incorrect (for example, custom field says “incorrect”).
]]>Hello,
Thank you for creating this wonderful plugin. Super happy with the way it works!
Though I have one issue, I use the config file method to cache the posts and I have set the time to 4 hours. The problem is, the plugin only updates its list after every 4 hours so if I delete any post or change the status, I get 404. I’m using this plugin for next previous post links and every now and then I get a random 404 page while navigating between posts.
It would have been better if plugin automatically purged the cache every time the status of posts in plugin’s cache changed instead of throwing empty or draft URL.
Is there anyway I can purge the cache manually through dashboard area with maybe a PHP code instead of opening config file every time?

Welcome to the forum of Redirect URL to Post! ??
You find general instructions, a description of all options and many examples in the plugin documentation. It has also a search function.
Please also take notice of the general forum guidelines.
I’m happy to answer your questions in this forum, but please count with some delay because this is only a free time project. If something doesn’t work as expected, it helps if you can post the output of the debugging so that we have an idea of what is going on in the background.
If you find this plugin useful, I’d be happy about a 5-star rating.
Thank you!

site.com/random-post-url-permalink?helloHello,
I’m curious if this plugin (Random Post Plugin – Redirect URL to Post) has been tested to be compatible with PHP 8+? I understand that I will need to update the PHP on my websites and test it out on the actual websites to be sure, but hearing from the plugin developers whether this plugin has been tested to be compatible with PHP 8 or not will help give me a sense of how much testing and bug fixing there is likely to be before I start the process.
I appreciate any information you can give!
]]>Hello,
I love the idea of this plugin.
I have a custom post type I’ve created called “Videos” to separate my content from the text posts.
Is it possible to just select the random posts to target one of the custom video post type?
Thank you.

]]>I am using the links on navigation buttons. The Random, First and Last links work. (First is just hard-coded). On adding debug it reports not found and just spits out the home page – which it goes to on clicking Previous or Next.

]]>Hi,
This plugin is awesome and we have been using it on a few of our websites.
Lately we have noticed that the plugin also queries trashed products when redirecting to random products using /?redirect_to=random&post_type=product.
Wondering if something needs to be done at our end to fix that.
Thanks.
]]>Hi, thanks for making this plugin and for your help!
I want the homepage of my site to always redirect to the exact URL of my latest blog post.
The format of each of my blog posts have the date in them, for example– https://website.com/june-10-2022/
first i tried going to settings –> reading –> latest post, and it shows my latest post embedded on the homepage, but it doesn’t show the actual URL of the latest post. So it’s not redirecting anywhere.
Then i tried using your wonderful plugin and putting in the URL you provided in the instructions (https://www.website.com/?redirect_to=latest). after putting that code in, the homepage will indeed show the latest post but unfortunately the URL is website.com rather than https://website.com/june-10-2022/ this seems like the latest post is just getting embedded into the hompage Url, rather than an actual redirect. it is the same effect as going to settings -> reading –> latest post
is there a simple solution? it’s important to me that the homepage redirects to the FULL URL of the latest post so that if someone wants to share that day’s post, they don’t just get website.com but the actual full post URL.
any help or advice to this newb much appreciated.`
]]>Hi, just submitted ticket and realized I should post here…
Is there a way I can edit the typography and words so it doesn’t say “random post” but whatever words i choose, in whatever typography and color i choose – minus the red button or rectangle around the words? I just want the functionality of the plugin integrated with a regular elementor button.
any help appreciated!

]]>If you have native speaker level of another language than English, it would be really great if you could help translate some text of this plugin into your language.
Please see the First Steps guide for more information.
In order to be able to validate (your own and other people’s) translations, you have to become a Project Translation Editor. Please let me know and I will ask the Polyglots Team to approve you.
Thank you for your support!
]]>Thanks for the great plugin – it’s doing (almost) exactly what I need!
I have a button on my home page which randomly displays an item from my portfolio in a modal popup window using your plugin’s querystring parameters. That’s all working great but if the user closes the modal and then clicks the button again, it will always display the same portfolio sample again when the modal reopens – it does not re-randomize. Is it possible to force the content of the modal to re-randomize using the plugin?
Of course, if the user reloads the home page and then clicks the button again, they will see a new randomly-chosen sample, but I’d prefer they didn’t have to do that.
