Languages: English • Italiano • 日本語 (Add your language)

Description

Redirects the user to a specified absolute URI.

Usage

wp_redirect() does not exit automatically and should almost always be followed by exit. If you are going to use it in page template or any other page make sure to use the function before get_header().

<?php
wp_redirect( $location, $status );
exit;
?>

Parameters

$location

(string) (required) The absolute URI which the user will be redirected to.

Default: None

$status

(integer) (optional) The status code to use.

Default: 302

Return Values

(bool) 

False if $location is not set, returns true otherwise.

Examples

<?php wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; ?>

Redirects can also be external, and/or use a "Moved Permanently" code :

<?php wp_redirect( 'http://www.example.com', 301 ); exit; ?>

The code below redirects to the parent post URL which can be used to redirect attachment pages back to the parent.

<?php wp_redirect( get_permalink( $post->post_parent )); exit; ?>

Notes

The HTTP/1.1 status code 302 is a temporary redirect. If the page has moved permanently, use the HTTP status code 301.
