Hi
I would like the taxonomy custom page to redirect when viewed to another part of the website - a buddypress page that has the same name as the taxonomy
http://graduatejob.com/sectors/audit/
permanently redirect to
http://graduatejob.com/sector/audit/

The following plugin will be useful for you:

Jatin Soni answers:
try with .htaccess. Place below code in your root .htaccess file
Redirect 301 http://graduatejob.com/sectors/audit/ http://graduatejob.com/sector/audit/
or with php you can place below code at the top of the header.php (at first line)
<?php
global $page, $paged;
if(is_page(your page id of the old url)){
Header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
Header("Location: http://graduatejob.com/sector/audit/");
}
?>
if it is single (post) than use below
<?php
global $page, $paged;
if(is_single(your post id of the old url)){
Header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
Header("Location: http://graduatejob.com/sector/audit/");
}
?>
I am not sure about php code and never tested

Try not to use a plugin...they just add weight to your website when you web server can do this for you with a little edit of the text file .htaccess.....
Depending on what's installed on your server, something like this will work:
Redirect 301 /sectors/audit http://graduatejob.com/sector/audit/
That's the mod_alias version, but you might only have mod_rewrite.
You can read more here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html
and here

Try .htaccess using wildcards to redirect any request, something like this:
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /sectors/* http://graduatejob.com/sector/$1
It's faster. You have one rule for everyone.
Nile Flores answers:
Why not just install the plugin Redirections and put a permanent 301 on the page. You can control both posts and pages and redirect as many as you want. -http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/
It SHOULD work on BuddyPress as well.
