I have a custom post type (portfolio) and I have to redirect a certain page (of this custom post type) to another page.

when I look at my custom post type page:

So I wrote the code as follow to redirect the above 'portfolio' page :

if (is_singular('2024')) {
   wp_redirect('/../rugby/');
}

but when I visit to the page (ID=2024) in front end it does not redirect to the page /../rugby/ why is that?

• 2024 - is a custom post type page's ID
• /../rugby/ - is a default 'page' type not a 'post' type in wp.

• custom-post-types
• pages
• wp-redirect

• you should add exit after. – RRikesh Commented Mar 30, 2016 at 13:42
• exit isn't necessary after redirection! – Sumit Commented Mar 30, 2016 at 15:31

is_singular() only accept post_type, use is_single('2024') for specific post.

if (is_single(2024)) {
     wp_redirect('http://mysitedomain/../rugby/');
     exit();
}

Update:

Also wp_redirect() does not work after headers are sent. Please make sure you are redirecting before headers. So you can hook this function on template_redirect and put this in functions.php

function redirect_custom_page() {
   if (is_single('2024')) {
        wp_redirect('http://mysitedomain/../rugby/');
        exit();
   }
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'redirect_custom_page');
