Redirecting Category Links to Static Pages

Support
#1

Hi,

In Posts and Blog pages there are links to categories. Is it possible to redirect/reconfigure these links to not go to the automatically-generated blog category pages, but go to a different (static) page?

For each category, I plan to have a static page, in which I have a description on the top and posts displayed in a specific order, plus additional content.

On my site HappySoulHungryMind.com I want to be able to list all the categories that a post belongs to, but when the user clicks the category, I want it to go the static page associated with that category.

Thanks.

Hello Ravi,

Thanks for writing in!

Yes, you can redirect the pages by using a custom redirect script or use a 3rd party plugin. Perhaps, any of these plugins might help you:

Just to manage your expectations, this isn’t specifically a theme issue, but rather, your customisation of it. So whilst I have happily provided you with some guidance above on how to get it working, we cannot provide theme customisation as a general rule, or support custom code solutions provided. Therefore, you might find it helpful to check out the following:

Hi RueNel, thanks.

I was hoping to find a way that does not use a “redirect.” I realize I used the word redirect in my question.

is there a way to programmatically change the link so it it points to the associated static page.

Thanks.

Hello Ravi,

The category links are a WordPress default. Any modifications to those links will not help because the category archive pages will still displays. Only redirection is the solution to what you have in mind which, again, is way beyond the scope of our support.

Thanks for understanding.
