This is an "empty" Wordpress theme you can install to redirect the headless Wordpress frontend while keeping the Admin login at /wp-admin and API endpoint at /graphql working.
For example, I created a headless wordpress site using https://www.wpgraphql.com.
- My API is working at https://www.mywordpress.com/graphql
- My custom frontend (using Next.js) is working at https://blog.mydomian.com.
- I want to redirect https://www.mywordpress.com to https://blog.mydomian.com
- I want to log into https://www.mywordpress.com/wp-admin to manage my content
Do the following:
- Open
index.phpand replacehttps://blog.mydomain.comwith the URL you want to redirect to.
header("Location: https://blog.mydomain.com");
- Zip the folder and upload the zip as a Wordpress theme and activate it - that's it!
- I borrowed the code from this post: https://serverfault.com/questions/853179/redirect-all-urls-to-the-root-except-wp-admin-and-wp-json
