Instead of the project archives in my Divi theme being at /project_category/[category name]/ I want them to go to /portfolios/#[category name].
I modified the following code from this question and added it to my child theme's functions.php file.
function my_category_redirect()
{
if ( is_category( ) ) {
$category = get_queried_object();
$cat_id = $category->term_id;
$url = site_url( '/portfolios/#' . $cat_id);
wp_safe_redirect( $url, 301 );
exit();
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_category_redirect' );
However this is not working. The project categories are still going to /project_category/[category name]/. I can't tell if the my_category_redirect function is even being called.
Any help is much appreciated!

Reset to default 1Your action callback probably gets called, but it could be that the if-statement that just fails. Are you using the default "category" taxonomy (i.e. Dashboard > Posts > Categories) or a custom taxonomy (i.e. Dashboard > {my-post-type} > {my-taxonomy}) as the project category?
If you're using a custom taxonomy, then you should use is_tax('my-taxonomy') instead of is_category() as the latter checks for the default category, not custom ones.
But, you can temporarily add a die('it works'); to your callback also, before the if statement, to verify that it gets called.
