Simple and it works
This plugin does exactly what it says. Allows you to link a page to an external URL. SO easy to use and works perfectly every time.
Had issues, then understood I had to change Permalinks settings.
Had issues based on the Permalinks set up. Using a Custom structure fixed that.
Right to the point
This plugin does what it says perfect. It works even with the query block on FSE themes. I hope you guys keep the maintenance going. Good job!
