Title: ETH Redirect to Latest Post Author: Erick Hitter Published: May 17, 2016 Last modified: January 19, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/eth-redirect-to-latest-post.svg) # ETH Redirect to Latest Post By [Erick Hitter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ethitter/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/eth-redirect-to-latest-post.0.3.1.zip) * [Details](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/eth-redirect-to-latest-post/#description) * [Reviews](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/eth-redirect-to-latest-post/#reviews) * [Installation](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/eth-redirect-to-latest-post/#installation) * [Development](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/eth-redirect-to-latest-post/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/eth-redirect-to-latest-post/) ## Description Once activated, a given slug will redirect to whatever is the most-recently-published post on the site. By default, the slug is `latest`, but it can be changed from the Permalinks settings screen. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/eth-redirect-to-latest` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. 3. If desired, change the slug from the ‘Permalinks’ screen in WordPress. ## FAQ ### Can I redirect to something other than a post? Yes, using the `eth_redirect_to_latest_post_query_args` or `eth_redirect_to_latest_post_redirection` filters introduced in v0.3. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/27ad5e8b9bae6dc8b9cc122e1c63abc5bff30b70ccb29459f0b2cb706eb3792b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No Longer Works with Current WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-works-with-current-wp/)󠁿 [tidalchiro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tidalchiro/) September 27, 2023 This plugin worked great until sometime in the last year, it no longer functions with the newest versions of WP.
