Reviews
what people actually sayPage Links To is a well-loved, focused utility plugin that reliably redirects WordPress pages/posts to external URLs, though a recurring bug with the "open in new tab" feature — particularly on paginated or dynamically loaded content and recent WordPress versions — is a notable caveat.
What people like
- +Does exactly what it advertises: redirects pages or posts to an external URL reliably×7
- +Simple and easy to use×5
- +Works with modern WordPress including FSE/block themes and WP 6+×3
- +Useful visual indicator (link icon) in the posts list to identify which posts use the plugin
- +Users are relieved and grateful that the plugin has been kept up to date after a period of inactivity×3
- +Works with third-party page builders such as Elementor
Common complaints
- −The 'open in new tab' feature is broken or unreliable, reported across multiple reviews and WordPress versions×3
- −The 'open in new tab' function specifically fails on paginated archives or after a 'load more' action in Elementor-based layouts
- −Permalink configuration can cause issues; requires a Custom structure to work correctly
- −Plugin page shows an outdated notice at times, causing concern among users about maintenance status×2
