ETH Redirect to Latest Post

Description

Once activated, a given slug will redirect to whatever is the most-recently-published post on the site. By default, the slug is latest, but it can be changed from the Permalinks settings screen.

Installation

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/eth-redirect-to-latest directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
3. If desired, change the slug from the ‘Permalinks’ screen in WordPress.

FAQ

Can I redirect to something other than a post?

Yes, using the eth_redirect_to_latest_post_query_args or eth_redirect_to_latest_post_redirection filters introduced in v0.3.

No Longer Works with Current WP

tidalchiro September 27, 2023

This plugin worked great until sometime in the last year, it no longer functions with the newest versions of WP. Can we get a working update?

Fantastic

This is exactly what I was looking for. Direct link to the latest post on my blog, perfect for the “link in bio” on Instagram! ??

Just installed, works great so far!
