Redirect all WordPress posts and pages to homepage

I want to redirect all the old posts and pages on a WordPress site to the home page as I'm shutting the site down but want to show people a thank you for your support page no matter what page they go on.

I have tried several .htaccess pieces of code but with no success, so any working code samples out there?

If you have direct access to the files, you'd be able to write yourself a solution:

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_to_homepage' ); function redirect_to_homepage() { $homepage_id = get_option('page_on_front'); if ( ! is_page( $homepage_id ) ) { wp_redirect( home_url( 'index.php?page_id=' . $homepage_id ) ); } } 

I used this post.

Best of luck!

Below code will redirect all page/post to home page.

add_action('template_redirect', 'wh_redirect_to_home'); function wh_redirect_to_home() { if (!is_home() || is_page() || is_single()) { wp_redirect(esc_url(home_url('/'))); exit(); } } 

Code goes in functions.php file of your active child theme (or theme). Or also in any plugin php files.
Code is tested and works.

Hope this helps!
