How to use redirect_term_location filter in WordPress

WordPress hooks are like the magic spells for developers. They let you customize and tweak your WordPress site without altering the core files. Today, we’re diving into the redirect_term_location filter. This little gem helps you filter the taxonomy redirect destination URL. To use this filter, you’ll first need to register it using add_filter. You can place this code in the functions.php of your active theme or, as we recommend, in a custom WordPress plugin. This way, nothing breaks when you update your theme in the future. Now, let’s look at some live examples of how this can be done.

Example 1: Modifying the Redirect URL

Here’s a simple example of how you can modify the redirect URL using the redirect_term_location filter.

    function weplugins_modify_redirect_term_location_defaults($location, $tax) { 
        // Update the $location variable according to your website requirements and return this variable.
        return $location; 
    }
    // Add the filter
    add_filter("redirect_term_location", "weplugins_modify_redirect_term_location_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Example 2: Applying the Filter

Below is a straightforward way to apply the redirect_term_location filter in your WordPress site.

    apply_filters('redirect_term_location', $location, $tax);
    

Example 3: Removing the Filter

If you need to remove a registered hook, use the example below. Make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments.

    remove_filter("redirect_term_location", "weplugins_modify_redirect_term_location_defaults", 10, 2);
