Hi there,

I am using the Nirvana theme n my website / blog.

The blog was originally hosted on blogspot but I now host it on my own website. When I moved the blog I set code in my functions.php file redirect blogspot taffic to a specific post on my own website. A so called wordpress 301 redirect.

This code works when I used it with a different theme but does not seem to work with Nirvana.
I put this code in the functions.php file located in the ….themes / Nirvana directory. Is there another specific functions file within the Nirvana theme that I shoould use to p this code?

CODE:
function blogger_query_vars_filter( $vars ) {
$vars[] = “blogger”;
return $vars;
}

add_filter(‘query_vars’, ‘blogger_query_vars_filter’);

function blogger_template_redirect() {
global $wp_query;
$blogger = $wp_query->query_vars[‘blogger’];
if ( isset ( $blogger ) ) {
wp_redirect( get_wordpress_url ( $blogger ) , 301 );
exit;
}
}

add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘blogger_template_redirect’ );

function get_wordpress_url($blogger) {
if ( preg_match(‘@^(?:https?://)?([^/]+)(.*)@i’, $blogger, $url_parts) ) {
$query = new WP_Query (
array ( “meta_key” => “blogger_permalink”, “meta_value” => $url_parts[2] ) );
if ($query->have_posts()) {
$query->the_post();
$url = get_permalink();
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}
return $url ? $url : home_url();
}

In addition to the above code I have also tried to achieve a 301 redirect using the PLUGIN “Simple 301 Redirect” Unfortunately it appears that it is impossible to achieve a 301 redirect whilst the Nirvana theme is active.

Have other users experience with this?
