Works WP 6.5

Just wish there was an option to open in a new tab. Work around was to open the redirected page in a new tab instead.

Exactly what I needed

It is simple and easy to use. Just wish the text wasn’t showing on the frontend. But it is an easy fix so I give it a 5 stars! Thank you for making this plugin!
