Redirecting a child term to the first page below it in Wordpress

Can the following be done in functions.php file?

I have the following url structure:

hxxp://domain.com/custom-post-type-slug/parent-term-slug/child-term-slug/page-slug/

There are no pages directly below the parent term, only child terms.

Is there a way to redirect the "root" of a child term to the first message belonging to the same child term?

hxxp://domain.com/custom-post-type-slug/parent-term-slug/child-term-slug/

need to redirect to:

hxxp://domain.com/custom-post-type-slug/parent-term-slug/child-term-slug/page-slug/

Ok, my friend, what do you want, maybe ... a rather strange request, but possible.

add_action('wp', 'get_first_child');

function get_first_child() {
    global $wp_query;

    if($wp_query->queried_object_id){
        $args = array(
            'post_parent' => $wp_query->queried_object_id,
            'numberposts' => -1,
            'order'=> 'ASC',
            'post_status' => 'published' 
        );
        $post = get_children($args);
        //here I test if there is more than one child.. if yes I stop here if you want it to keep going just remove this
        $post = (count($post) > 1) ? null : reset($post);

        if($post->guid){
            wp_redirect( $post->guid, 301 );
            exit;
        }
    }
}

So what am I doing here?

All I do is bind all children to the main message you are, and reset to the first one on the line if there is more than one child.



Then I just get its guid and redirect it with 301.

Tadã ... the magic was done!

Hope this is what you wanted :)
