Redirects to another page.

Syntax Syntax

wp_redirect( string $location, int $status = 302, string $x_redirect_by = 'WordPress' )

Description Description

Note: wp_redirect() does not exit automatically, and should almost always be followed by a call to exit;:

wp_redirect( $url );
exit;

Exiting can also be selectively manipulated by using wp_redirect() as a conditional
in conjunction with the ‘wp_redirect’ and ‘wp_redirect_location’ filters:

if ( wp_redirect( $url ) ) {
    exit;
}

Parameters Parameters

$location

(Required) The path or URL to redirect to.

$status

(Optional) HTTP response status code to use. Default '302' (Moved Temporarily).

Default value: 302

$x_redirect_by

(Optional) The application doing the redirect. Default 'WordPress'.

Default value: 'WordPress'

Return Return

(bool) False if the redirect was cancelled, true otherwise.
