Redirection not working in WordPress?

3 Views

I am using below code for redirection in wordpress 

$currentPage = explode('?', $_SERVER ['REQUEST_URI']);
  $current_page_url = $currentPage[0];
 if($current_page_url == '/e-commerce')
    {
        header("Location : http://www.mysite.com/complete-e-commerce-solution",true);
    }

I am using this code in header.php, i am redirecting to third party site.is that problem?

  1. you need to follow the header call with an ‘exit`. However, you might be better using wordpress’s inbuilt wp_redirect function:

    wp_redirect("Location : http://www.mysite.com/complete-e-commerce-solution");
exit;

    Using wordpress functions allows plugins to filter the input and sanitises the input (not so applicable here, just good practice).
