Can’t believe I haven’t found these plugins sooner.. I guess I didn’t have a need for it before, but I do now for some of my affiliate blogs.

I wanted to have a page that redirects users to signup for the Isagenix program or buy the Isagenix product when they are reading about my weight-loss success on my lose-weight blog.. I realized from doing a survey that my blog readers couldnt find where to buy the products. My intention for that blog was only to record mine & others success stories through using the product and so I only had a couple of links (as pictures) on my sidebar to buy the product, but if you are looking for a "Buy" button and dont find it.. well it turns out they were getting frustrated and went back to Google (eek!) to find the product.. = missed sales for me!

Anyway, I needed a way to easily edit the page links to point to the buy site as well as my new flickr "before and after photos" gallery, and while I was at it, was on a mission to find something that can remove some of the pages from my nav link.

Found 2 neat little plugins that did the job easily and quickly, saves me having to go through the code (I detest going through code).

Plugin One: Page Links To

Page Links To is a plugin that allows you to make certain WordPress pages or posts link to a URL of your choosing, instead of their WordPress page or post URL. It also will redirect people who go to the old (or “normal”) URI to the new one, using a redirect style of your choosing.

On each page.. down the bottom, it adds an "Page Links To" form box.. you just type the url in and it creates the page and when users click on it, will automatically redirect them to that URL. (You can do this with code, but why – when this plugin does it for you?)

Plugin Two: Page Link Manager

Page Link Manager Plugin is a WordPress plugin that adds an administration panel that allows users to pick which page links are included in the site navigation. It’s very simple.. the options page just lists the pages, and you "uncheck" the boxes of the ones you don’t want appearing in your site navigation. Simple, fast. Does the trick.

I’d be very interested to hear from anyone that has any similar plugins to the above.. I know I’ve seen some pay ones that allow you to also add squeeze pages and optin forms, and do the above in one, but can’t find the link.. I think it was profitblogger or something similar to that where I saw it.. maybe it was a theme or something, I forget.. anyway.. do you use a plugin similar to the above or have a better way of managing your posts/pages? Feel free to comment.. I’d love to hear about it.. I’m a wordpress plugin junkie lol..
