TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want post titles to link somewhere other than the post itself, such as an external product page. It solves the problem of having to write a full blog post just to redirect visitors to another page, like an eBay or Etsy listing, when they click the post title.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about VK Link Target Controller

Yes.

You can add your link for redirection on the post edit screen. Just look for the "URL to redirect to" section under the main edit screen.

The plugin supports both external and internal links. You can choose to open the links in a new window if you need. Please refer to the Installation tab or the Screenshots tab for more information.

VK Link Target Controller supports Japanese in URLs so probably you can add other non-Latin characters too. My link won't open on a new window. VK Link Target Controller adds a filter on the the_permalink() WordPress function, which means the redirection won't work if your theme uses another function, for example get_permalink() to display the links. In order to have the link opened in a new window VK Link Target Controller needs a theme with the post id as class on the <a> parent element. Your theme probably has it if it follows the WordPress Theme recommendations. Example A: <div class="post-item post-block front-page-list post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a> </div> Example B: <div class="<?php echo esc_attr( implode( ' ', get_post_class() ) ); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a> </div> get_post_class() returns a value that includes the post ID.

For now the plugin is available in English and Japanese only. But we have a .pot file available so feel free to translate it in your language if you have some time.
