PHP Redirect Script Not Working

  • Hi,

    I am working on a script to redirect a WordPress post to a new site. I’m moving an individual WordPress blog to a WordPress network. On the network site the permalink structure is changing like this:

    Old Permalink: https://www.example.com/YYYY/MM/the-permalink-link.html/

    New Permalink: https://www.newdomain.com/example/YYYY/MM/DD/the-permalink-link/

    The script I’m running will grab the post date and break it up so I can get the DD. I’m running it before the open <html> tag. Here is the script:

    <?php

$post_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$post_ID = $post_obj->ID;
$post_title = $post_obj->post_title;
$post_slug = $post_obj->post_name;

$post_date = $wpdp->get_results("SELECT post_date FROM wp_posts WHERE post_title = '$post_slug'");

list($y, $m, $d) = explode('-', substr($post_date, 0, 9));

$new_url = 'https://www.rantsports.com/TEAM-NAME/'.$y.'/'.$m.'/'.$d.'/'.$post_slug.'/';

Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: ".$new_url."" ); 

?>

    And I’m getting the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to a member function get_results() on a non-object in /home/letsgetm/public_html/wp-content/themes/lgm_rantsports/single.php on line 8

    Thanks,
    Grant

    Ok, got the script working but its not returning the right link:

    <?php

define( 'BLOCK_LOAD', true );
require_once( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-config.php' );
require_once( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-includes/wp-db.php' );

$post_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$post_ID = $post_obj->ID;
$post_title = $post_obj->post_title;
$post_slug = $post_obj->post_name;

$post_date = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT post_date FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_name = '$post_slug'");

list($y, $m, $d) = explode('-', substr($post_date, 0, 9));

$new_url = 'https://www.example.com/TEAM-NAME/'.$y.'/'.$m.'/'.$d.'/'.$post_slug.'/';

Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: ".$new_url."" ); 

?>

    The result I got was:
