    I am using Simplest theme, which only has index, functions, and stylesheet folders. I would provide a link, but the site is not live yet.

    I want the post title on the main page to link to the blog post (currently operative). Once on the blog post, I want the same title to link to a related, external article. Is there a simple way to do this? I’ve looked for plugins that do this, but couldn’t find any.

  • I’m not sure I am following what you want to do here. Are you saying that when a visitor is on your main page the blog post titles should go to the underlying blog post. But then when on the blog post itself the same title should go to a remote site?

    If so you may want to rethink this as it is bound to confuse your visitors. If the title is of the current post you are on it shouldn’t drive visitors to external articles. Instead you should have a link in the content or a callout element to drive visitors to remote articles.

    Yes, I could see how that would be confusing. I was going to post only an image for each post. I wanted to keep the page as clean as possible without adding new text, which is why I wanted the post title to link to the external source. I’ll just add a line of hypertext to avoid confusion.

    thanks for the feedback.
