You would find this useful if you want to redirect one or more of your WordPress page(s) to another website. For example, you want a link on your navigation that will fetch your visitors to your Flickr or to your forum which is located at another address.
There are two ways of doing this, using a redirect php file or by just using a meta tag.
The Use of Meta Tag
- Create a WordPress page
- In the page, insert this meta tag:
- Substitute “0″ which the number of seconds you want to delay before redirecting. Substitute “http://example.com” with the URL of the website you want to redirect to
The Use of redirect.php
- Download and upload the redirect.php file by cavemonkey50 to your theme’s directory (/wp-content/themes/theme name/)
- Create a WordPress page
- Select “Redirect” as your page template.
- Add a custom field with the key “redirect” and the value being the URL of your targeted website
I personally prefer the second method, as using meta tag seems to delay the redirecting more.

Thank you!
I used redirect.php and it was exactly what I was looking for.
