Hello,
Is there anyway to add an external link to the navigation bar?
I expect an entry to enter page title and page link (external link).
Thank you.

There are the following possibilities:

1) You can use the plugin Redirects:

2) You can use a JavaScript like the following:

Code: Select all

<script>
  location.replace("https://www.google.com")
</script>
3) You can redirect with .htaccess.

Thank you for your reply, but I`m talking about adding a navigation bar item with an external link.
Mentioned solutions are for forwarding the whole site.
Other alternatives allow us adding custom navigation bar items (a title "page name" and a value "external url".

Well, I created a page and added the above-mentioned code (solution #2) inside it.
Clicking the page name inside the navigation bar redirects to the destination. (after a quick showing of the same "empty" page).

It works, but I have a tip for who use this way.
You must decide page type (static).
When I left it undecided, the whole website was redirecting to the destination without clicking anything. I set it to "static" and it became OK.
