[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.
