[How to] Redirect To Single Post If There Is One Post In Archive
Archive indexes are a good way to organize your posts, but if there is only one post in an archive page it can be just a waste of time. Here i will give you a small #snippet to jump directly to the post page.
To achieve this we will use wp_redirect
which is a great feature for contexual template redirections.
Here is the code to put in your functions.php
file to jump single post archives :
function stf_redirect_to_post(){ global $wp_query; // If there is one post on archive page if( is_archive() && $wp_query->post_count == 1 ){ // Setup post data the_post(); // Get permalink $post_url = get_permalink(); // Redirect to post page wp_redirect( $post_url ); } } add_action('template_redirect', 'stf_redirect_to_post');
This redirection check will fast forward user to the post page if there is only one post in that category/tag.
Thanks to Julie for the idea.
