Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Shortcode Redirect

In the block: toggle off Show "redirecting" message in the block sidebar. In the shortcode: add show_message='false' (also accepts 0, no, or off): [redirect url='https://example.com' sec='3' show_message='false']

Yes. Both render the same <meta http-equiv="refresh"> tag on the front-end. Same delay handling, same message toggle, same output.

Absolutely. Use whichever fits the page you're editing. Pages built with the old [redirect] shortcode keep working when you upgrade — no migration required.

No. The redirect is a plain HTML <meta http-equiv="refresh"> tag. It works with JavaScript disabled, in text browsers, and inside reader modes.

Yes — the Redirect block supports reuse, so you can save a configured redirect once and drop it anywhere.
