Hi there
Im looking for a way to create a shortcut like myurl.com/newshortcut for a longer url like myurl.com/whatever/longer/url/for/my/page
I am using permalinks, but if my pages has a parrent, the url can get very long.
Is that somehow possible? Maybe with a plugin?
Thanks,
Kenneth

Not sure if it still works with 2.9.2 as it only lists up to 2.7 but please give it a try.
There was another one but I can't find it right off.
edit: Here's the one I was thinking of:

Hmmm, that one only lists up to 2.8. You may want to search the plugins database to see what you can find.

Please let us know how it goes. We used to use one that will remain nameless as it was discovered that it was hackable to allow outside urls and we had a couple of installs get jumped on by a child porn ring. Lots of fun.
