wpRedirect: WordPress Redirection Plugin.

== Description ==

Allows editors to redirect posts or pages to alternate URLs by simply adding
a custom field to their entry.

Handy when you want an external URL to show up in your standard page listing
when using WP as a content management system. Or if you want imported posts
to point to the original permalink when the single version is accessed, but
still show in your templates in the post listings (home, search results,
archives, etc). And more.

Starting with version 1.1, wpRedirect optionally uses the built-in caching
mechanism provided by WordPress, to increase performance. Redirect URLs are
cached for 365 days when first publishing a post/page, or when updating
posts/pages with their status set to "published". Cache is also generated
on post/page load when required (refresh).

Developers can also use the wpRedirect($url) function in their own code
as a safe and convenient redirection mechanism extending the built-in
wp_redirect function.

== Installation ==

Installing should be a piece of cake and only take a few minutes.

1. Upload the `wpRedirect` directory (safer future upgrade path) or just
   the `wpRedirect.php` script to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
1. Login to your WordPress instance as an admin user.
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 

All done! Optionally and for optimal overall performance, be sure to turn on
caching in WP 2+, which wpRedirect will use to cache the URLs to redirect to
if available.


== Using wpredirect ==

Once installed, you will be able to add a redirect_me custom field, with a URL
as a value, in the post/page edit screen. Doing so will have the item
automatically redirected when accessed.

You can change the value of the field to scan for through the WP plugin config
screen: **wordpress_install**/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wpRedirect.php


== Development ==

wpRedirect welcomes friendly contributors wanting to lend a hand, be it in the
form of code through SVN patches, user support, platform portability testing,
security consulting, localization help, etc.

A request has been placed to setup the project in the WordPress Plugin Repository
for a better collaboration environment. In the meantime, the source is available
under my personal Subversion repository as follow:

* stable:     http://labs.tekartist.org/wordpress/svn/trunk/plugins/wpRedirect/
* unstable:   http://labs.tekartist.org/wordpress/svn/branches/dev/plugins/wpRedirect/
* historical: http://labs.tekartist.org/wordpress/svn/tags/plugins/wpRedirect/
