How do I redirect in WordPress?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:51 pm

If you want to redirect your WordPress site to a different URL, you can use the wp_redirect() function. The function takes two arguments: the old URL and the new URL.

To redirect your WordPress site to a new URL, you can use the following code:

wp_redirect(‘http://example.com/new_url’, ‘http://example.com/old_url’);

The wp_redirect() function will redirect your site to the new URL, and you can also use the global variable $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] to override the URL that is being redirected.

You can also redirect a single page using the wp_redirect() function. To redirect a single page, specify the page’s slug as the first argument, followed by the new URL.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to redirect in WordPress, it is important to know that there are two different types of redirects – 301 and 302. 301 redirects are permanent and 302 redirects are temporary. If you are not sure which type of redirect you need, it is best to consult with a WordPress developer or an experienced web administrator.

wp_redirect(‘http://example.com/single_page/new_url’, ‘http://example.com/single_page/old_url’);

If you want to redirect all of your pages, you can use the wp_redirect() function with the global flag WP_ALL_REDIRECTS set to true.

wp_redirect(true, ‘http://example.com/old_url’);

The wp_redirect() function will redirect all of your pages to the new URL.

You can also redirect a specific page using the wp_redirect() function. To redirect a specific page, specify the page’s slug as the first argument, followed by the page’s ID.com/page/1/new_url’, ‘http://example.com/page/2/old_url’);

If you want to redirect all of the pages in a WordPress site, but you don’t want to overwrite any existing pages, you can use the wp_redirect() function with the global flag WP_ALLOW_REDEPENDENCIES set to true.com/old_url’, WP_ALLOW_REDEPENDENCIES);.
