WordPress. How to create a redirect from a home page to any URL using the PHP redirect<\/a><\/p>\r\n

In order to add a redirect function to your WordPress template, you should perform the following:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Log into your Dashboard and go to Appearance<\/strong> -> Editor<\/strong>, select Home Page Page Template (page-home.php)<\/strong>:<\/p>\r\n

    If you don’t have the Home Page<\/strong> page template in your theme folder, you should copy it there. To do that, you need to copy the file page-home.php<\/strong> from the directory wp-content\/themes\/CherryFramework<\/strong> to wp-content\/themes\/themeXXXXX<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

    \r\n\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
  2. \r\n

    Let’s, as an example, redirect our home page to the contact page. In order to do that, add the following code right before the get_header();<\/code> function:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n$location = get_site_url() . \"\/contact\";\r\nwp_redirect( $location, 301 );\r\nexit;\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/pre>\r\n
    \"WordPress._How_to_create_a_redirect_from_a_home_page_to_any_URL_using_the_PHP_redirect-2\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n
    You can assign any internal\/external location to the $location<\/strong> variable. If it’s an internal location, you should append a call to the  get_site_url()<\/strong> function before the slug as shown in the example above.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  3. \r\n
    Save the changes to the page-home.php<\/strong> file by clicking on the Update File<\/strong> button:<\/p>\r\n
