Plugin Description
Simple URLs Legacy is a fork of the orignial plugin by Nathan Rice and Studiopress team. As such, it is a complete URL management system that allows you create, manage, and track outbound links from your site by using custom post types and 301 redirects, as it was meant to be.
Usage
Simple URLs Legacy adds a new custom post type to your admin menu, where you can create, edit, delete, and manage URLs. It stores click counts in the form of a custom field on that custom post type, so it scales really well.
And, by avoiding page based redirects, which is the current trend in masking affiliate links, we avoid any issues with permalink conflicts, and therefore avoid any performance issues.
- Upload the entire
simple-urls-legacy folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- DO NOT change the name of the
simple-urls-legacy folder
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Navigate to
Settings > Permalinks. That’s it. Just open that screen and WordPRess automatically flushes redirects. Trust me.
- Navigate to the
Simple URLs Legacy menu
- Create a new URL, or manage existing URLs.
- Publish and use the URLs however you want!
