Hi @alexvandervegt, thanks for the ticket! Would you like to add a patch?

Note that new filters need to be documented as per the ​documentation standards.

[alexvandervegt]

Here you go:

<?php
/**
 * Filter the taxonomy redirect destination URL.
 *
 * @since 4.5.0
 *
 * @param string $location  The destination URL.
 * @param object $tax       The taxonomy object.
 */
wp_redirect( apply_filters( 'redirect_term_location', $location, $tax ) );

This does not work, it keeps loading at the end

The patch is supplied 2 months ago, when will this be implemented?

We are still waiting desperately for this.

@alexvandervegt I've added your patch to the ticket. Can you explain a little bit about the use-case for this filter in this specific location?

[alexvandervegt]

Hi @DrewAPicture this is a copy of an existing method inside the post.php

<?php
wp_redirect( apply_filters( 'redirect_post_location', $location, $post_id ) );

In my case we have a custom redirect scheme so we need to check for double slugs on taxonomies, I use the existing redirect_post_location for posts and this works awesome. However there was no likewise functionality for the taxonomy part so that's where the patch comes in.

[SergeyBiryukov]

In 37696:

Taxonomy: Introduce a redirect_term_location filter to change the redirect on term editing.

This complements the redirect_post_location filter added in [12260].

Props alexvandervegt.
Fixes #36367.
