## Description

Easily redirect any post or page to another page with a dropdown menu or by manually
typing in a URL. Check out the screenshots. This plugin also changes permalinks 
and menus to point directly to the new location of the redirect – this prevents 
bots from getting a redirect and helps boost your SEO.

 1. Edit the page, post, or custom post type you wish to redirect from.
 2. There is a dropdown menu in the right hand column
 3. Choose where you want to redirect to and save the post / page

Places a redirect option right in the page’s editing view. I typically use this 
as a work-around for placeholder pages. When I want a page link to appear in a menu,
but want it to redirect elsewhere.
