    Good day,

    I am hoping you can assist in improving my 404 pages generated from expired events.

    I am trying to create a function that will redirect expired events in a particular category (that will usually display a 404 page) to the root category. i am using multi-city and my redirect action is not working.

    I have the following code:

    

    // Expired Events Redirect
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'expired_events_redirect' );
function expired_events_redirect()
{
    // check if is a 404 error, and custom post type events and category
    if( is_404() && is_singular('gd_event') && is_category( 'festival' ) )
//    if( is_404() && is_singular('your-job-custom-post-type') )
    {
        // then redirect to
        wp_redirect( home_url( '/events/festival/' ) );
        exit();
    }
}

    

    Do you think this is possible. Am I missing something.
    

    You assistance is much appreciated.
    

    Kind regards,

    Hi,
    

    Try this one:
    

    

    function expired_events_redirect_setup( $post, $query ) {
    global $wp, $gd_expired, $wp_query;
    
    if ( !empty( $post ) && !empty( $query->is_single ) && $post[0]->post_type == 'gd_event' ) {        

		$check_is_expired = false; // DO STUFF HERE TO CHECK HERE EXPIRED OR NOT
        
        if ( $check_is_expired )  {
            $gd_expired = $post[0]->ID;
            $wp_query->is_single = true;
        }
    }
    
    return $post;
}
add_filter( 'posts_results', 'expired_events_redirect_setup', 10, 2 );

function expired_events_redirect() {
    global $wp, $post, $wp_query, $gd_expired;
   
    if ( is_404() && $gd_expired ) {
        $gd_post = get_post( $gd_expired );
        
        if ( !( !empty( $gd_post ) && $gd_post->post_type == 'gd_event' ) ) {
            return;
        }

		$default_category_id = geodir_get_post_meta( $gd_post->ID, 'default_category', true );
        $term = $default_category_id ? get_term( $default_category_id, $gd_post->post_type . 'category' ) : '';
        $default_category = !empty( $term ) && !is_wp_error( $term ) ? $term->slug : '';

		if ( $default_category ) {
			$redirect_url = get_term_link( $default_category );
		} else {
			$redirect_url = home_url();
		}

		wp_redirect( $redirect_url );
        exit();
    }
}
add_filter( 'template_redirect', 'expired_events_redirect' );

    Hi Kiran,
    

    Thanks for taking a shot at this.
    

    Your code does not seem to do anything on my site regarding 404’s for Expired/Draft events although I see where you are going with this but unfortunately my PHP skills are lacking in this regard.
    

    I am not sure how events are tagged ‘Expired’ in GD. My site is set to ‘Expired > Draft’ and not ‘Expired > Trash’ although both instances will obviously result in a 404. Not sure if that makes any difference.
    

    Any further input appreciated.

    I just given code with basic logic that you can follow. you have to write code to check event expire or not at “// DO STUFF HERE TO CHECK HERE EXPIRED OR NOT”.
    

    Event can be expired via package or via event date. which one you following?

    Hi Kiran,
    

    My events expire via package ‘alive days’.
    

    I was not aware that events could expire when the date of the event passes. Is this a new feature?
    

    Would love to sort out my analytics 404’s though.
    

    Many thanks

    Hi Dale,
    

    Use following code to find listing is expired or not. Replace “$check_is_expired = false; // DO STUFF HERE TO CHECK HERE EXPIRED OR NOT” in previous code.
    

    

    $post_expire_date = geodir_get_post_meta( $post[0]->ID, 'expire_date', true );
$check_is_expired = ( $post_expire_date != '0000-00-00' && $post_expire_date != '' && geodir_strtolower( $post_expire_date ) != 'never' && strtotime( $post_expire_date ) < strtotime( date_i18n( 'Y-m-d', current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) ) );
    

    This is customization and it is beyond support, so we can help you more in code customization. You can hire developer from http://geodirectoryexperts.com/
