Page redirect function WordPress

• SOLVED

Hello,

I'm trying to build a function to redirect to the home url when a page is displayed.

Can anyone please help make this function work.

This is what I started but cant get it to work...

// PAGE REDIRECTS
function page_redirects() {
if ( is_page('buy-the-book') ) { wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') ); }
else if ( is_page('testimonials') ) { wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') ); }
else ( is_page('contact') ) { wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') ); }
exit;
}
add_action('init', 'page_redirects');

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

try with this code

Place below code to top (very 1st line) of header.php

<?php
if ( is_page('buy-the-book') || is_page('testimonials') || is_page('contact') ) {
header( get_bloginfo('url') ) ;
}
?>

This code should be at the first line of the header.php even before <DOCTYPE>

Just for your knowledge:

Redirect script usually doesn't work if you place after any html code. From function.php it wordpress usually add code after wp_header() which is loacated deep after html starts. While redirect script normally should be before any html code starts on the page.
