How to redirect a page to subdomain?

1 Views

I have a blog on wordpress say example.com with a page name “mypage” in it. When a user clicks on mypage I want him to redirect to mypage.example.com (a subdomain that I have already created) inspite of opening example.com/mypage. I want my page to redirect to my subdomain.

I am a user of wordpress and hence I dont know much about how to do it. Please help me out on it, I would be really thankfull.

  1. Can you use a custom menu (Appearance -> Menus) ? If so, just create a custom link and insert it where desired. This has the added benefit of not cluttering your list of pages with a page that isn’t real.

  2. I would say you have two options :

    1/ You could use a Plugin like Yoast SEO, which is useful to SEO and allow you to define a 301 redirection to any page (just install the plugin, go to the page you need to redirect, and in the SEO options, in Advanced, you will find a redirect field where you could enter the URL where you want to redirect

    or 2/ Create new file redirect.php with this code that you place in your theme folder via FTP :

    <?php
/* 
* Template Name: Redirect
* 
*/

wp_redirect( 'mypage.example.com', 301 );

?>

    Then change the template of your example page to this Redirect template, which will redirect to the subdomain with a 301 redirection.

    * EDIT *
    This is a wrong answer. You cannot use wp_redirect() because http headers are already processed at this point. I used successfully this code that rely on Javascript to redirect the page (not a perfect solution if JS is desactivated, of course).

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
  window.location= <?php echo "'" . home_url() . "'"; ?>;
//-->
</script>

<?php get_footer(); ?>`
