   Hi!
   I am trying to redirect a page to the latest post in a particular category.

   I found a redirect code from somewhere which redirects to URL mentioned in the body of the post but I can't figure out how to modify it redirect to the latest post in a particular category.

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Redirect
   */
   
   if (have_posts()) {
     the_post();
     $pattern = '@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@';
     preg_match($pattern, get_the_excerpt(), $matches);
     if ($matches[0]) header('Location: '.$matches[0]);
     else echo 'Enter a URL into your page body text.';
   }
   ?>
