   Overview of wp_redirect Hook
   The apply_filters( 'wp_redirect', string $location, int $status ) hook in WordPress allows developers to modify the redirect URL ($location) and the HTTP status code ($status) before WordPress executes a redirection. This can be useful for modifying or validating the destination URL or for changing the response code to suit specific needs.

   add_filter( 'wp_redirect', 'wpdocs_modify_redirect_status', 10, 2 );
   
   function wpdocs_modify_redirect_status( $location, $status ) {
       if ( strpos( $location, 'permanent' ) !== false ) {
           $status = 301; // Permanent redirect
       }
       return apply_filters( 'wp_redirect', $location, $status );
   }

   In this example, if the redirect URL contains “permanent,” the status code changes to 301.

   • This hook can only change the $location value. To change the $status value, use the wp_redirect_status hook.
