Περιγραφή
Have you ever had to give someone a shortened version of a URL? Maybe you’re a podcaster, and you can’t say “visit mydomain.com/2008/01/03/my-post-with-a-long-url/ for more info.”
Wouldn’t it be useful if you could just say “go to mydomain.com/go/mycoolpost/ ?” Sure, you could use a service like tinyurl.com, but that’s still not too great if you need the URL for a podcast. It’s still awkward to read-out “tinyurl.com/27asr9,” isn’t it? It’s less professional too.
GoCodes let’s you create shortcut URLs to anywhere on the internet, right from your WordPress Admin.
The plugin is also useful for masking affiliate program URLs.

Origin
We are proud that original base of this plugin is a fork of GoCodes by redwall_hp (Not available for download and Supported currently).
We worked on the plugin before before releasing it is “WPNeon GoCodes2”, stripped down some code to make it a simple & lightweight.
Known Issues
WP Super Cache
There seems to be a conflict with the WP Super Cache plugin where a redirect will only work once before the cache is cleared. There are a couple of workarounds:
- Add “index.php” on a new line in the “Rejected URLs” field of the WP Super Cache options page. yourdomain.com/ will be cached still, but /index.php won’t.
- Frederick of frederickding.com put together another method. Add this line to your .htaccess file above the WP Super Cache line: “RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.gocode=.” It should look something like this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.gocode=.
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις
- How do I add a redirect?
-
To manage your redirects, open your WordPress admin, and go to the Manage -> GoCodes menu. From there you can remove redirects by clicking on the “Delete” button next to their entries, and you can add new ones using the form on the page. The “Key” field is where you enter the redirection string (e.g. “orange” in yourdomain.com/go/orange/). The URL field is where you enter the URL that users will be redirected to (“http://” is required). Note that the Key can only contain alphanumeric characters.
- Are the redirects search engine friendly?
-
As of version 1.0, yes. 301 header redirects are used, as opposed to 302 redirects. This ensures that search engines will not rank the GoCode URL, and move on to the target URL, thus preventing duplicate content problems.
- I often create redirects to sites that I don’t particularly trust. Can I automatically nofollow the redirects?
-
Go to the GoCodes Settings page (Settings -> GoCodes) and tick the Nofollow checkbox. This will instruct GoCodes to send a “noindex, nofollow” message to search engines accessing a redirect.
