want to create new page that redirects to external page

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
Can't seem to do this easy task...

I want a clean link like this for a new external page:http://www.mywebsite.com/newpage

but the only option I get when adding "newpage" is to redirect to an internal page, which I have done many times. When I "add an external link", it only creates it in the menu I chose, but that's not what I want.
Please help.
If only, when you choose "add page" it gives you a choice of "external link"...

Can you be a little bit more specific about what you are trying to do?

The External Link option is so that you can add a Menu Item which then just takes you to somebody else's website.

The Add New Page option is for creating a new content page on your website.

If you are trying to add a link into the menu that links to a different content page on your website you would use the External Link and just put the URL in there.

Thank you for your answer. I do not want to add a submenu that links to an external link. I want to add a page and when a person type the address of that page or clicks on it, it will bring them to the external page directly.
I have a webinar coming up and the link to register for it is soooo long that I want to promote a shorter and cleaner link on Facebook that has my domain name in it. I do this often for one of my own pages, but it's the first time I need an external link like this.

I understand, I think you will have to use something like the Redirect Block to accomplish thishttp://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/redirect...
