[Resolved] Redirection

Hey Stardrive, you can use this function:

function my_page_redirect()
{
    if( is_page( #ID ) )
    {
        wp_redirect( home_url( '/yourpage/' ) );
        exit();
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_page_redirect' );

If is a post page just change is_page() for is_single()

The function goes into your child theme functions file.

Hi!

I am wondering – can this also be done with the new “Elements” from GeneratePress? I am asking because if possible, I’d prefer to avoid a plugin.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the quick reply David. I think this would require me some more digging, as I’m a newbie to WP and hooks. I found out that it’s better to use wp_safe_redirect instead of wp_redirect, and also the documentation says it’s possible to do 301 redirects with that function (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/). So that’s great in principle. I just don’t know how to execute it with GP’s Elements hooks 🙂

I am using https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/ for now – the plugin is from an Automattic
employee and has been around for ages and been maintained so it looks like quite a safe bet.

Thanks David. What I meant was that I do not know how/where/what code to put in to the Elements screen – I can see Jean’s snippet above but it’s not clear to me how to put this into GP Elements.

Anyway I am definitely sticking with the plugin, it’s quite great, and as mentioned secure/trustworthy/maintained enough – but might be good to know for reference or future readers how to do it in GP Elements.

Thanks again!

Thank you for checking, good to know!
