Meta tags in Wordpress?

RedirectFilter: Can't edit meta or serverside files...

  • Yet another redirect question: How can I auto-redirect a visitor to another page, although I can't edit the page's HTML/code, per se? I've got a blog on a freebie host with no adverts, and I want to redirect users from the blog page (wordpress) to a new blog page on a different host -- but all I can do is submit story entries, not edit the actual code like the meta tags (as far as I know, unless you know of a wordpress.com seup function I am not aware of..? Is there an HTML or or some js taggery I can set up in one of the stories/articles to make the page redirect to the new blog? I've seen it done on Myspace I think.. Some fake account with a cute girl picture wants to be my friend, so in visiting her profile to see if she's actually a person, the myspace account redirects you to a porn/spam-etc site instead. How do they do that without being able to actually edit the serverside page data?

  • Answer:

    After a bit of google searching I think what you want is not possible I'm afraid. http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=392 Smackfus suggestion should have worked but It obviously doesn't allow you to insert code.

This should work: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- window.location = "http://www.google.com/" //--> </script>

I posted it as an entry, even under the HTML option, but it comes back without the script tags and with the !--'s preceded by paragraph tags ;-/

Can you stick files in the same directory as the URL? If so you could do a http://www.webweaver.nu/html-tips/web-redirection.shtml. (Assuming it's running Apache.)

>I've seen it done on Myspace I think. Yeah but MySpace is http://fast.info/myspace/. If you read through that guy's explanation of how he hacked myspace by putting javascript into CSS style attributes and so on, you might get something that works.
