I want to change 302 to 301 canonical redirect?

  • I saw that WP does 302 redirect for canonical URLs. I need it to do 301 redirect. Where in the code can I change this? I saw that wp-app.php file has the following code:

    /**
	 * Display Redirect (302) content and set status headers.
	 *
	 * @since 2.3.0
	 */
	function redirect($url) {

		log_app('Status','302: Redirect');
		$escaped_url = esc_attr($url);
		$content = <<<EOD
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title>302 Found</title>
  </head>
<body>
  <h1>Found</h1>
  <p>The document has moved <a href="$escaped_url">here</a>.</p>
  </body>
</html>

EOD;
		header('HTTP/1.1 302 Moved');
		header('Content-Type: text/html');
		header('Location: ' . $url);
		echo $content;
		exit;

	}

    Is this what I need to change and how to change exactly, since I’m not a developer?

    Thanks!

    I just need a simple advice to tweak the code. This should be very simple for someone who is a coder. C’mon don’t be shy.

    Thanks!
