Thanks for the little trick. I tried it and it gave me this syntax error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘@’ in /home/photosbymotti/www.photosbymotti.com/blog/wp-content/themes/infocus/redirect.php on line 7

I don’t have a clue how to fix php code.

Any solutions? Will be appreciatd
Thanks,
Motti

You are more than welcome to take my links off ( you use wordpress and you can edit them out ). I received one person ( I guess it was you ) to my site. I don’t think there is anyone from marketing blog that strays to a sports site from a comment.

It is a dead issue. Take care.

I have never been to the website you have referenced in your previous comment. Yes, his post was made before mine. Yes, his code does the same thing as mine. Sure, I’ll be happy to reference someone who has created a similar code to mine…oh, you have already done that for me.

I have had no issues with permalink errors or conflicts with my code. If you want to make a post with your update on your blog and send a backlink to this post…have at it. I am a hack (I live with my PHP for Dummies book right beside my pc) and not a coder so I don’t have any current intentions for updating this post.

This is now a dead issue. I hope you have enjoyed all the link love and traffic you have received from my site.

Blessings,
Wendy

Sam, I have never been to the site you have referenced much less copied his code. Not to mention he really offers no directions but you will notice mine has step by step instructions. There are only 13 lines of code here. It wasn’t a copy. As I have said there are many people who have generated similar codes to do the exact same thing. I do not have time to research them all and see how similar they all are to each other. But, hey, knock yourself out.

Blessings,
Wendy

The reason I bring this up is because the code doesn’t work well with permalinks within certain structures, or with certain affiliate link codes.

I was asked by a client to tweak it and I have a better version. But the current one you have has problems with specific themes ( Pressbox, Classipress ) so if you need a fix I can give it to you.

Here is the original code. Can you explain how both of you developed the exact same code with the exact same name? And if not, could you please reference the author of the code in your post?

Thank you.

I have the exact same code. Not one piece of the code is different. I can reference the page here if you want. I am only saying that I have used this code for nearly two years, and your code is exactly the same.

I will send it to you if you want, or you can see it in action on one of my clients website. I am only saying, I find it hard to believe that you named it exactly like others have named it, and you even placed specific selectors in the code ( because I can tell you from experience, some themes screw up the permalinks, which is why I created a better code a few months back ).

I am only saying, if you made this code, then you have made an exact copy of someone else’s. I find that absolutely amazing, conceding you never came across this code before.
