How to Redirect if Category or Tag Contains Only One Post WordPress

I was doing some research on wordpress tags and categories and the below script which is needed for redirecting single posts related categoies and tags to be redirected to the post itself in wordpress. Below code is wordpress redirect without plugin needed. it does not add more overhead on server performance.

Below code can be added to child theme(recommended) or to your theme’s functions.php file

function redirect_to_post(){
global $wp_query;
if( is_archive() && $wp_query->post_count == 1 ){
the_post();
$post_url = get_permalink();
wp_redirect( $post_url );
}

} add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_to_post’);

Note: Child theme’s are safe in WordPress to be sure not to break anything all at once when doing customization.

Above can also used to redirect all posts of category to any single page etc… its just needs to be changed accordingly at $post_url line. Please let me know if you need more help on this.
