Simple URLs Legacy is a fork of the plugin by Nathan Rice. A URL management system to create, manage, and track outbound links from your site.<\/p>\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n
simple-urls-legacy<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n- DO NOT change the name of the
simple-urls-legacy<\/code> folder<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
- Navigate to
Settings > Permalinks<\/code>. That's it. Just open that screen and WordPRess automatically flushes redirects. Trust me.<\/li>\n- Navigate to the
Simple URLs Legacy<\/code> menu<\/li>\n- Create a new URL, or manage existing URLs.<\/li>\n
- Publish and use the URLs however you want!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
