   I'm using wordpress version 2.86 and I'm having problems with the "is_category" in php. What I'm trying to do is redirect a user to a page if the user clicks on a category. This is the code I tried:

   <?php
    if (is_category('twitter')) {
    get_page($twitter-updates);
    }
   ?>

   If this code is correct, then it says if the category "twitter" is displayed, then get/display the page "twitter updates". When a user clicks on the category "twitter", instead of displaying the posts in the category the browser will display the page "twitter updates".

   Hi -

   I'm a big fan of the Redirection plugin. You might try the plugin to do what you are trying to do in your php.

   After installing the plugin, go to Tools; Redirection.

   Then, add a Redirection with source url =

   http://yoursitename.com/category/twitter/

   and target url =

   http://yoursitename.com/twitter updates/

   The exact value will vary depending on your permalinks and actual page name.

   Hope that works for you.
