This is a question that seems to have an easy answer using php files and I'm told to simply create a php file <?php header( 'Location: www.yoursite.com/new_page.html' ) ; ?>

you then create a folder in the root directory of your site called 'go' or 'more' or something like that, then you put all of your redirects in that folder.

Then if you want to use that link you just type /go/affiliate-link.php assuming you named the folder go and the php file affiliate-link.php

Well for some reason I'm having trouble with this. There's something I'm not doing or understanding.

Do you or anyone possibly have more details? Once I'm inside my WP dashboard I can't figure out how to get that file to the keywords I'm trying to hyper-link? If that makes sense.

Sorry, I'm just not getting it.

You should be able to highlight the word (or words) which you would like to make linkable and then click the little chain icon. You should then see a field for entering the URL of the link, you just need to enter the location of where the file resides.

Because it is a local file you do not need to enter the domain name. So assuming you have a folder 'go' in the root directory which the redirect file 'affiliate-link.php' within that folder you should be able to type '/go/affiliate-link.php' into the URL destination field.

You can test that you have the URL right by appending '/go/affiliate-link.php' to your domain name and it should redirect you to whatever URL you inserted into the redirect.

Does it matter if the link I saved in .php format is in lower case?

Just a thought, after looking at other re-directs. Could that actually make a difference? Lower case vs upper case??

Because everything looks as though it should work, but it's not working.

Thanks!

PS: For example... the file name looks like this:
InternetMarketin-Adsense-Code.php
