Link to forum under Pages section of Sidebar

[kameronmf]

I want to include a link to my phpBB forum under the Pages section of the sidebar. The forum is in a subdirectory of the site. I use a modified version of the Rin theme, which uses the template tag:

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>

to create a list of links. I’ve tried to create another list item with an html link to the forum, but it appears the php function creates a self-contained <div> and the html link always shows up outside the CSS formatting. How can I force the link to my forum to be listed with the other Pages? Thanks.

Have a look at the redirectify plugin: https://redalt.com/Resources/Plugins/Redirectify/

Thanks for the link. This looks like it will work, but there is no documentation. Any idea what meta tag is needed in the page to get it to work? The comments on the PHP page just say “a certain meta tag.”

Oh sorry, meant to link in some instructions too.

The key is:

To use it, add a custom field in the Advanced Editing panel named “redirect”. The value of the field should be the URL to redirect when that page is viewed.

from the old announcement post.

key: redirect
value: the url for the redirect

Key – redirect
Value – the URI

Give the Page a title that would appear in the list and no content needed. Save it. That’s it.

Works beautifully. Thanks.
