How is WordPress redirecting/rewriting my URL???

Inside the root directory create a file with the name of “index.php” and paste the following code (All visitors will be redirected!!!!)

/*
I have omitted the PHP opening and closing tags due to security restrictions of this forum
*/
Header(“HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”);
Header(“Location: https://www.gosell.co.uk/longon/”);

What exactly would you like to achive ????
Propably there is a better way for doing this .

The thing is my site is running in uk and i want to make it local classified u know i mean? if some open a site in manchester the my site should show him manchester local ad and my site url should be https://www.gosell.co.uk/manchester or manchester.gosell.co.uk i want a ciry redirect thats wat i want. and i ll detect user by their ip addresses.
i hope explained it clearly.

As I know it can be done with the “.htaccess” file or with PHP (I prefer PHP).
This web-site provides a data-file and some PHP files . You have to make some slight modifications on these files , not a difficult proccess if you have basic knowledge of PHP .
I made a test with the free version of this service , see it on my server . You can also use the paid version ( $20 per 50000 queries) .

yes someone said to me that u can do this with the help of directories sub/directories. i know the lil bit of php but once i cleared then i can do it to my own.

the problem I see is how is wordpress – or the server – going to know what city someone is from? you can redirect according to country – but city?

I think perhaps more realistic is your main page has links to user’s city and then is taken to page with their stuff.

u can detect user from their ip addressed once u have detected then u can take em to their respective pages etc.

or the other way is Hook into init action https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/add_action), detect where is your visitor from using some of available geoip solutions, and then use wp_redirect to redirect to the right url…

good luck

It’s posible to locate visitor’s location (country or city ) .
I made a test on my server (with different proxy-servers) and it worked , visit this link .
On WordPress create a page for each city : London , Birmingham , Manchester , Liverpool ……
With a bit of PHP you can redirect visitor to the apropriate page .

not really – how accurate is it?
My ip says i’m from Dallas – I live over 30 miles away in Fort Worth – so being redirected to Dallas wouldn’t be relevant/
so what do I do mow?

I demonstrated the free version of this service , so it may not be 100% accurate for city-detection . The paid version ( $20 per 50000 queries) is probably more accurate .

good idea.
