 * How to install Redirectify perfectly
 * 1. install Redirectify
    2. activat it 3. change a single line in the plugin php
   file. Look for:
 * wp_redirect($redirect);
 * And change that to:
 * header(”Location:{$redirect}”);
    4. Go Write > Write page > and create a page
   5. scroll to the bottom of the page you are creating and Type “redirect” in the–
   middle – Key field (no quotes) of the custom field 6. Type the URI in the Value
   field Click “Add custom field”.
 * there you have it

 * A clarification to the above (punctuation DOES matter 🙂 )
 * Hyszyanz doesn’t mean the plugin.php file, he means the plugin**‘s** php file,
   or redirectify.php.
 * And as it is typed above, it calls up an error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ on line 51

 * Thanks for suggestion. What’s the point in making this change?

 * > _What’s the point in making this change?_
 * Because of changes to WP since Redirectify was last supported, many themes won’t
   allow a link to be created using the ‘redirect’ Custom Field. When you try, instead
   of ending up with a link in your navbar or wherever, you’ll just end up with 
   a draft post. This change fixes that.

 * breakingball–are you referring to the problem where a Page is turned into a draft
   if a Custom Field is assigned to that Page when first creating the Page?
 * If so, first create the Page without the Custom Field, then after you Publish
   the Page, go back and edit the Page, and add the Custom field(s).

 * Thanks, Michael. I hadn’t known that (although the change above has corrected
   this issue for me wrt to Redirectify).

 * thanks! I’ve also in the past just published and then went back in to create 
   custom field. I’d rather change the code as you offer, but as Moodles mentioned,
   I get an error. Can you double check what you typed in or have any suggestions
   on what is causing error?

 * Don’t copy/paste his code from above. The quotation marks are both end quotes(
   or whatever they’re actually called). Type it in yourself.
 * If that’s not it, I don’t know what to suggest.

 * Thanks, breakingball, I should have known better than to copy/paste into my code.
   So I now do not have an error but it still creates a post draft if I add the 
   custom field then publish the Page. Thanks for the help anyway, guess I’ll have
   to stick with the 2 step process. 🙂
