How Do I Redirect a Page in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 14, 2023 @ 4:22 am

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, there may be times when you need to redirect a page. Maybe you’re changing the URL of a product, or you want to redirect users to a different page after they add an item to their cart. Whatever the reason, redirecting pages in WooCommerce is easy to do.

In WooCommerce, there are two ways to redirect pages:

1. Use the WordPress Redirect plugin.

The WordPress Redirect plugin is a free plugin that allows you to easily redirect pages in WordPress.

To use it, simply install and activate the plugin. Then, go to Tools » Redirections and add your redirects.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to manage your online store, you may need to redirect a page at some point. For example, you may want to redirect customers to a different page after they add an item to their cart.

While it is possible to redirect a page in WooCommerce, you should be aware that this can potentially cause problems with your store. For example, if you redirect a customer to the wrong page, they may not be able to complete their purchase.

Therefore, it is important that you only redirect pages in WooCommerce when absolutely necessary, and that you test the redirection thoroughly before making it live on your site.

2. Manually add code to your functions.php file.

If you’re comfortable with code, you can also add a redirect directly to your functions. Just add the following code:

function my_custom_redirect() {
global $post;
if ( is_singular( 'product' ) && $post->post_name == 'old-product-name' ) {
wp_redirect( home_url( '/new-product-name/' ), 301 );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_custom_redirect' );
?>

There are two ways to redirect pages in WooCommerce – by using the WordPress Redirect plugin or by adding code to your functions. Both methods are easy to do and will allow you to redirect pages as needed.
