URI Redirect Plus plugin

[Cre8gent]

Hi Jared, is there anyway to have a selected redirect open in a new tab?
If not would you consider adding it?
It would be nice to have an option to choose if you would like to link to external sites without having to close the current site.

This plugin redirects links by setting the HTTP header's location value. There is no ability in an HTTP header to dictate current or new tab, because that's a browser/client-side thing. HTML code for a link can do that (with the target attribute), but that is not how these redirects are happening. They are using PHP's header function to set a new location. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

Redirects just can't do that. It's the HTML that does that, and this plugin does not write any HTML at all.

Ok thank you very much for your quick response.


I will have to look at a menu link option with the ability it seems
