Hi,

i tried to redirect a category page but somehow it doesnt work.
i put this code in the functions.php (theme dir)

function _portfolio_plus_redirect( $location, $status )
{
if ( isset($_REQUEST[‘category_name’]) && $_REQUEST[‘category_name’] == ‘portfolio’ )
{
$location = remove_query_arg( ‘category_name’, $location );
$location = add_query_arg( array( ‘page’ => ”, ‘pagename’ => ‘portfolio’ ), $location );
}

return $location;
}

add_action( ‘wp_redirect’, ‘_portfolio_plus_redirect’ );

I tried to do 301’s in a more hardcoded kind of style, but using the filter approach definately looks like the best approach to do 301’s. Works like a charm, thanks and kudos to you!

In reply to Anime. If you want to do a permanent redirect, I would use .htaccess.

How would one go about redirecting the Site address under the “general” tab? I want to redirect domain.com/ to domain.com/word – how would one go about 301’ing that? use .htaccess or?

I purposely did it to see if people were paying attention. 😉

Thanks for letting me know. It is fixed. 😀

So here I am searching for methods to log and convert 404 urls into 301 redirects and your first link in the article returns a 404 😀 😀

You can just use the wp_redirect command if your headers are not sent out yet. Just add it to the functions.php file of your theme or child theme.

if (check_for_something()) {
   wp_redirect('http://www.newlocation.com');
}

The location for wp_redirect has to be an absolute url.
