## Description

Link Away makes it easy to replace a post’s permalink with any URL you choose on
a post by post basis.

Link Away adds a field to the post admin page for entering the new destination address.

If you are sharing an article found on another website, all you have to do is add
it’s URL. When the user clicks any link that would normally take them to the single
post page for that post, they will bypass the post on your site and go directly 
to the article location.

The value of this plugin compared to others that might be similar, is that it is
clean and lightweight. It’s so simple, in fact, that the actual functionalitly is
only about a half dozen lines of code.

Because it filters the WP function that retrieves the permalink and replaces it 
with the given URL as it is returned, with a very high priority, it should have 
no problem working across all themes and regardless of other plugins.

It’s a pretty simple plugin. If you don’t want to change a post, just ignore the
Link Away settings, but when you do want a post to link away, add the complete URL
where you want users to go.

Optionally, you can select to have the new location open in a new window.

Click the test button and the URL will open in a small popup in case you want to
verify the URL before you update the post.
