Front Page and Shop Page set to be the same, but Shop Page still has a Permalink

Hello @anotherbreed , You can get your goal by using the below code and when anyone tries to open the shop page. Then it will redirect him to the home page on your site. You have just pasted this code functions.php file of the current activated file.

/**
* Function is used for the redirect shop page to the homepage.
* 
* @name custom_template_redirect
* @author Mohit Mishra MakeWebBetter
* @link https://makewebbetter.com
* @since 1.0.0
*/
function custom_template_redirect() {
    if( is_shop() ) ://check is shop page.
    	wp_redirect(home_url());//Redirect to the homepage.
        exit();
    endif;    
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'custom_template_redirect' );

Hi Mohit,

thanks for replying.

Since you used is_shop(), I carefully tested your code using echo "Hello world!"; and turns out that it was displayed on both URLs. Both of them take to the Shop, and a redirect loop would occur using that function.

Many thanks

@anotherbreed Do one thing. Whatever page you have designed for the front page go to the edit page of that page. Then go the page attribute settings and select the homepage there. Then I think all the problems will get resolved.Here is the screenshot of that.https://imgur.com/z8jnZckl.png

Hi Mohit,

no luck with that, but from your suggestion I was able to investigate further on the page and its permalink – turns out I was able to fix the problem by removing the page completely and create a new one (with the same content) from scratch.

I have an active plugin that automatically creates redirects when permalinks change, and it probably was responsible for creating two different URLs for the same page. Also to note that I was using the URL to the old Shop Page on the menu, that could be another cause.

Now everything works as it should ??

Thanks for the help!
