Conditional redirects for 404.php page

  • I’m currently moving all pages and content for my website to an assortment of other sites. The old will become a portal which directs users in the right direction.

    Since pages are going to be removed, it is likely that a number of links will return the 404.php file in my theme. I need a way of conditionally redirecting users to the correct page on the new websites. I was thinking something like this*, however it is a little bit messy. Are there any more effective ways of doing it?

    <html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
var time = 100
function move_1() {
window.location = 'https://newsite.com/page1/'
}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
var time = 100
function move_2() {
window.location = 'https://newsite.com/page2/'
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<?php if (is_page('page1')) {
     echo "<body onload=\"timer=setTimeout(\'move_1()\',2000)\">";
} elseif (is_page('page2')) {
     echo "<body onload=\"timer=setTimeout(\'move_2()\',2000)\">";
} else {
     echo "<body>";
}
?>
You are being redirected to the new page...
</body>
</html>

    Thanks for any help or pointers.

    *I’ve excluded theme code, obviously
