1 - where do you change the 301 destination URL for a specific page?
You can't change the 301 destination for a specific page. That information is all in the database and it not accessible from the Wordpress interface. If you want posts to go to specific pages, you should auto-post them individually. I do this by creating keyword lists for a specific page and posting all of them directed to that page.
Ie: title of my 'real post' is: "Best Widgets for the Money"...I would create a big list of longtail keywords and paste them all into the auto-post directing the 301 to the page I specify.
If you have articles already published, just delete them and re-publish directed to the link you desire.
Ah, I see the disconnect. I requested a feature where you could view/change the auto-301 URL and you replied back that you'd just added the feature but you were talking about the default URL.
Personally I don't see a reason to have that since it's something you add manually. However, being able to change the 301 redirect of posts that are added AUTOMATICALLY - as those are the ones which are most likely to be pointing at the wrong page - would be a great feature.
Until/unless that function is added and/or the cloaking works in conjunction with the 301 redirect I guess this will just be a semi-automatic tool. I'll just go in periodically and redirect the auto-added posts manually.
Note for those who are running non-US servers: the time difference seems to cause problems with cloaking. My sites running off of a US server are fine. My site running off of a UK server is all fucked up. Not sure why this is even an issue...
