Wordpress Permalink Redirect 301

Don’t use php header function it will cause problems within wordpress.

WordPress has its own function to make redirects

Function Reference: wp_redirect($url, $status_code);

Try this:

<?php
$permalink = get_permalink( $id );  
wp_redirect($permalink, 301);
exit;
?>

I’ve worked out some code for you

Place this below code to your functions.php file:

function redirector($post_id) {
    if (is_single()) {
        $redirect_to = get_permalink($post_id);
        if (empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']))
            $ht_prot="http://";
        else
            $ht_prot="https://";

        $cur_link = $ht_prot . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
        $pattern = "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/".$post_id.'\/+$/';
        preg_match($pattern, $cur_link, $matches);

        if(sizeof($matches) < 1) :
            wp_redirect($redirect_to, 301);
            exit;
        endif;
    }
}

And call this function to your single.php file:

redirector($post->ID);
get_header(); ?>

Just before the get_header();

It will only redirect if you’re in single post.

You can further change this code as your needs.

Caution:

If later you wish to change the permalink structure please remove the function call because it will continuously redirect and cause an redirect error.
