[Wordpress Question] How Can I Have A Page Link Somewhere Else?

Hi, I'm setting up my new site using Wordpress.

However, there is something I want to do: I want to make it so that when people click on a page, they don't get taken to an actual page within the site, but rather be taken somewhere else.

How can i do this?

Thanks!

 

please make it clear with some example please, so others and i can help you. if can, provide the url. thanks

 

Well, I don't have an example...

 

Do you want to link to another page?

Are you talking about having an iFrame where the top of the page is your site but the rest is another site? (Not recommended by the way.)

Tell us a little more and maybe we can help you out.

 

do you mean a redirection so that people will be automatically taken to another webpage?

 

Yes, exactly.

 

Here is a simple html meta tag that will redirect to any site that you put in the code.

I definitely would not recommend using it to try and trick users to going anywhere they didn't anticipate going, the search engines will bust you for that.

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">

 

explain your question a little more

when you say "when people click on a page", what exactly do you mean? do you mean when they are reading your blog, they click on where?

 

I mean when they click on the link that is supposed to take them to a page.

 

I won't be using it to trick users. It's just that I want a link where a page is supposed to be.

It's purely aesthetical (I know that word probably doesn't even exists )

 

ok I'll try to help you and if we figure it out maybe some rep?

I think what you are trying to do might have nothing to do with wordpress, but I am not sure exactly from the question

you say 'you want a link where a page is supposed to be'

1. Do you mean you want a blog page that is just a link that people can click on?

2. Do you mean that you want a post on your blog on the main page of your blog, but when someone clicks on the title of that post, it takes you to an external link?

If none of the above are correct, explain where you want the link to be, like someone opens your blog for the first time, where do you want them to see it and go to?

 

This is what he means:

"A page" on a Wordpress theme is listed atop of the blog and is a "link" on a non-Wordpress site. That link takes you to a created wordpress page. What he wants to do, is..

Let's say he has a "Page/Link" up top called Forum, he wants you to click that and be re-directed to the domain of the forum.

 

Exactly, that's what I mean.

 

ok, I understand now

another question, do you want it so that all 'pages' are like that, or do you want most of the 'pages' to still be pages in wordpress, and only one be a link to somewhere else?

 

Yeah, I only want one page to be like that. I actually want it to link to a forum . I would use one of the many wordpress forum plugins out there, but I prefer vBulletin...
