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!

My theme limits some things in wordpress but this plugin has allowed us to add categories and tags to our pages. Very helpful in grouping and labeling types of pages.
