Redirect Settings

This page helps you set up how your WordPress site works when it’s in headless mode. You can control where visitors go and what appears in your dashboard.

When someone visits your WordPress site, you can send them to where your actual website is running.

Choose Where to Send Visitors

Pick one of these options:

  • API URL: Sends visitors to your WordPress API address
  • Custom URL: Sends visitors to any website address you choose

Custom Redirect URL

If you picked “Custom URL” above:

  1. Type in the full website address
  2. For example: https://myactualwebsite.com
  3. Make sure to include https:// at the start

General Settings

Disable Theme Section

  • What it does: Hides the Themes section in your WordPress dashboard
  • Why use it: Since you’re using WordPress as a headless CMS, you don’t need to manage themes
  • How to use: Just check the box to hide the Themes section

Example Settings

Here’s a common setup:

  1. Redirect URL set to “Custom URL”
  2. Custom URL: https://mywebsite.com
  3. Themes section: Hidden

Tips for Setting Up

  1. Always use complete website addresses (including https://)
  2. Test your redirect URL before saving
  3. Make sure your custom URL is working before using it
  4. Double-check your typing
