  I’ve looked through the forums, but forgive me if I’ve overlooked the answer to this question.

  I’m trying to make a page redirect to an offsite coppermine gallery. My blog is hosted on wordpress without a CSS upgrade. Is there a way to plug a code into the html version of “edit page” to get this redirect to work, or is this something that can only be done with a CSS upgrade purchase?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This blog post explains how to use a trick to make a header tab link to an external page, but it does not work with the theme you are using. In that blog post, only the themes listed in the left column work correctly.

  You would have to switch themes in order for it to work properly.

  Hello – I’m trying to the same thing on freelanceunbound.wordpress.com.

  This answer refers to a blog post, but there’s no URL given. Is it possible to post this blog address?

  Many thanks…

  UPDATE: There is a workround for this – in the page title field insert this code:

  Where, obviously, you insert the web address you are hoping to redirect to, and then the name of the site that you want to go in the navigation tab.
