## Descriere

Shortcode Redirect sends visitors from any post or page to another URL. No settings
screens, no database tables — just drop it in where you need it.

There are two ways to use it, and both produce the exact same front-end output.

**1. The Redirect block (new in 1.1.0)**

In the block editor, add the **Redirect** block from the _Widgets_ category. The
block sidebar exposes three simple fields:

 * **Destination URL** — where the visitor should end up
 * **Seconds to wait** — how long to pause before redirecting (`0` = immediate)
 * **Show „redirecting” message** — toggle the visible „Please wait…” line on or
   off

The editor shows a live summary of what the block will do, e.g. _„Redirects to https://
example.com — after 3 seconds · message shown”_. No shortcode syntax to memorize.

**2. The classic shortcode**

Paste into any post or page:

    ```
    [redirect url='https://example.com' sec='3']
    ```

Shortcode attributes:

 * `url` — destination URL _(required)_
 * `sec` — seconds to wait before redirecting _(optional, default `0`)_
 * `show_message` — set to `false`, `0`, `no`, or `off` to hide the „redirecting”
   message _(optional, default `true`, new in 1.1.0)_

Example with all three:

    ```
    [redirect url='https://example.com' sec='5' show_message='false']
    ```

**Same output either way**

Block or shortcode, the front-end renders the same single `<meta http-equiv="refresh"
>` tag (plus the optional one-line message). No JavaScript. No server-side redirect.
No third-party tracking. Existing `[redirect]` shortcodes from earlier versions 
continue to work unchanged.

#### caracteristicile

 * **Block editor support** — native „Redirect” block _(new in 1.1.0)_
 * **Classic shortcode** — `[redirect]` works exactly like it always has
 * **Optional delay** — choose how many seconds to wait before redirecting
 * **Silent mode** — hide the „redirecting…” message for a clean, blank-page redirect_(
   new in 1.1.0)_
 * **Lightweight** — a single PHP file plus a small block; no settings, no tables,
   no dependencies
 * **Backwards compatible** — upgrading from 1.0.x is drop-in

Acest modul oferă 1 bloc.

 *   Redirect Redirect visitors to another URL after an optional delay.

## Instalare

 1. Install from the WordPress Plugin Directory, or upload `shortcode-redirect.zip`
    to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu.
 3. Either:
 4.  * Add the **Redirect** block to any post/page (block inserter  _Widgets_  _Redirect_),**
       or**
     * Paste `[redirect url='https://example.com' sec='3']` into any post/page.

No configuration screen to visit — the plugin activates and is immediately usable.

## Întrebări frecvente

### How do I hide the „Please wait while you are redirected…” message?

**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']
    ```

### Do the block and the shortcode behave the same?

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

### Can I mix blocks and shortcodes on the same site?

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

### Does this require JavaScript in the visitor’s browser?

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

### Can I use this in a Reusable Block / Synced Pattern?

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

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!

For a basic redirection on a page, it worked great.
