[Résolu] Redirect each post URL to an exernal URL from a custom field

Ce fil est résolu. Voici une description du problème et la solution proposée.

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.

Support,

How can I redirect each post so it gets redirected to an external link provided by a custom field? The custom field I'd like each post redirected to is my "Affiliate Link" field. So essentially single posts are never accessible as long as there is a link provided in the custom field.

Thanks,
Charles

Hi, 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.
