As I was working on my new contact form, I thought of the fact that many people might try to access it by simply typing in http://myfla.ws/contact. Therefore, I set off to find a solution which would easily redirect those people to my actual contact page. When looking, I had a couple of requirements in mind:
- The script must be bundled in a WordPress plugin.
- It must not interfere with any other part of my blog. (ie. It can’t require custom fields to function)
- The management panel must be extremely easy to use.
When I was unable to find any plugin which met all of these requirements, I ended up spending a couple of hours to script one of my own. After some PHP work and practice in MySQL troubleshooting, I put together Permacop (short for Permalink cop). If you noticed, that link itself is an example of the plugin since it links to http://myfla.ws/permacop but redirects to http://myfla.ws/projects/permacop/. Using Permacop any blog can have its own personal traffic directer.
