A super easy way to automatically redirect a user to another page when viewing a post/page on your site.
As of April 2026, Shortcode Redirect is a WordPress url plugin with 10K+ active installations and a 4.3/5 rating from 31 reviews. It has been downloaded 93K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 6.0+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2011. Download volume is stable this week. Top alternative: Custom Post Type Permalinks.
Shortcode Redirect allows site owners to automatically redirect a user after a chosen amount of seconds when viewing a page or post on the site. The plugin instructions are very simple. Add a shortcode to the post/page that looks like the following [redirect url='http://somesite.com' sec='3'] the url= part is where you define the URL to redirect the user to and the sec= part is where you define how many seconds to wait before redirecting.

Shortcode redirect should work with older versions of WordPress as well but was not tested with anything older than 2…
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.
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!
Pluginnya berfungsi, semoga kedepannya ada pengaturan opsi lebih lanjut (sorry i write in indonesian bahasa)
For a basic redirection on a page, it worked great.
it works perfectly as it should, saved us a lot of coding time.
