Change a link in the categories?

Post by DMotel »

I have categories in the right column of my site. Some of my categories use titles that my users would be use but are not the correct titles for my categories and I don't want to put any actual entries there.

Instead I want have a "dead" category that simply links to one of the categories that use the proper word. Can I do this? How can I redirect a category link to another cartgory?

Thanks

Hi!

You could make a manual HTML list of your categories with links as you want them. Just create a "HTML nugget".

The more effective, but harder way would be to enable smarty templating for the plugin in its configuration and edit the plugin_categories.tpl file, and add smarty IF-checks for specific categories and then insert the links that should show up there. This would require smarty-knowledge.

HTH,
