Hi,

I already post my question on the Generate Press forum but maybe better if I’m asking here :

Basically I want to redirect to a custom URL. Custom URL that would be calling from a custom field present in each post.

In each post I have a custom field, name is “url-booking” and value is the custom URL. I think the call would be something like get_field($url-booking); but I really don’t know how to configure it with WPSP.

Hope this is clear enough,
Thanks a lot,
Samuel

Hi again,

I just wanted to add that I would need this only for custom post types called “hotel”.

I really don’t speak the php and it’s frustrating because I know it would something like “if post is hotel then link to custom url”

I saw a reply you made regarding a similar request for gallery

So would it be something like this possible ?
```
add_filter( 'wpsp_post_href', function( $href ) {
    if ( 'hotel' == get_post_type() ) {
        return get_field($url-booking);
    }

    return $href;
} );
```

Hi there,

As of right now, no filter exists there.

I agree that it would be a good filter to have – I’ve made a note of this for the next version.

Thanks for your reply Tom,

Just to know what’s the next step for me, do you have any idea about when a new version would be released ?

Thanks a lot

Hi Tom,

Coming back to do some tests with your Alpha 1.2 version.

Could you help me understand how to implement the “get custom url” function we were talking about ?

To remind you what I’m trying to do is :

I have hotel pages where I use a custom field I called “url-booking” and where I put an URL.
I need WP Show Post to link to this “url-booking” custom URL

Here is a example of what I’m doing right now using another (but heavy) plugin : https://monvoyageencolombie.com/ou-loger-region-caraibe/

Thanks for your help,
Samuel

Hi there,

You can do this:
```
add_filter( 'wpsp_title_href', function( $href ) {
    $custom_url = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'url-booking', true );

    if ( $custom_url ) {
        return $custom_url;
    }

    return $href;
} );
```
Hope this helps!

Hi Tom,

The function is working well but partially, Title’s link is redirecting to the custom URL fine, but Image and Button’s link are redirecting to the original page…

Is this possible to make all links to redirect to custom URL ?

Thanks for your help,
Sam

For the image, you can duplicate the function but use wpsp_image_href as the filter name.

For the button, try this:
```
add_filter( 'wpsp_read_more_output', function( $output, $settings ) {
    $custom_url = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'url-booking', true );

    if ( $custom_url ) {
        return sprintf(
            '<div class="wpsp-read-more"><a title="%1$s" class="%4$s" href="%2$s">%3$s</a></div>',
            the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ),
            esc_url( $custom_url ),
            $settings['read_more_text'],
            esc_attr( $settings['read_more_class'] )
        );
    }

    return $output;
}, 10, 2 );
```
