Is it possible to change the url in pro blog posts?

Permalink
Hey guys Im trying to monetize my posts on my blog by changing the "blog post title" and the "read more" URLs to go through adf.ly before it goes to the actual blog post page. Is this possible???

You'd want to create what's called a "root level override" of the problog_list block view you are using. (google for tutorials oh how to do this).

Copy /packages/problog/blocks/problog_list/templates/selected_template/view.php into /blocks/problog_list/templates/selected_template/.

Then simply modify the link URL to to your desired location. I am assuming this service will require you to append the problog link to that sites url. (http://servicesite.com/?site=<?=$problog_url?>)

Hope this helps.

K I did my research, I followed all the steps but when I try to edit the proper view.php, I can't see any of my links or posts. Yet, when I right click inspect element with google chrome on my blog page. I can see the all my posts and links under "blogwrap". Yet I cant open it in code editor in file manager in order to edit the links in my blog post titles.

Any other ideas ??? I'm so stuck on something seemingly easy?
Almost wanna give up on c5 as easy as it is to build, its frustrating to find related links to my problems and Im a very resourseful person normally
