This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to redirect posts in a specific post type to a URL saved in a custom field on each post.
Solution: Unfortunately Toolset isn't set up to handle redirects so this will require custom code. Here is an example:
function my_cpt_template_redirect()
{
if( get_post_type() == 'your-cpt-slug' )
{
$id = get_the_id();
$url = get_post_meta( $id, 'wpcf-' . 'your-field-slug', true );
if( $url ) {
wp_redirect( $url );
die;
}
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_cpt_template_redirect' );
Replace your-cpt-slug with the slug of the post type where you want to apply these redirects. Replace your-field-slug with the slug of the URL field. Additional changes may be necessary based on your requirements.
