WooCommerce: Redirect Specific Category To Product Page
Especially when you have many WooCommerce product categories, it may happen some of them have a single product. Although this is a rare scenario, let’s see how easy it is to redirect customers directly to the single product page in case you don’t want them to see the category page first. Enjoy!
This 1-product product category page is such a waste of white space and an extra click. Let’s get the customer straight to the single product page!
PHP Snippet: Redirect WooCommerce Product Category Page to Single Product Page
/**
* @snippet Redirect Product Cat to Product ID
* @how-to businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-customization
* @author Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer
* @compatible WooCommerce 7
* @community https://businessbloomer.com/club/
*/
add_action( 'wp', 'bbloomer_redirect_cat_to_product' );
function bbloomer_redirect_cat_to_product() {
if ( is_product_category( 'tables' ) ) {
wp_safe_redirect( get_permalink( 123 ) ); // PRODUCT ID
exit;
}
}
This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101

Here I give you an improvement of the code that automates the whole process. I hope it helps you.
add_action('template_redirect', 'redireccionar_categoria_individual');
function redireccionar_categoria_individual() {
if (is_product_category()) {
global $wp_query;
$categoria_actual = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$productos = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'product_cat' => $categoria_actual->slug
));
if (count($productos) === 1) {
$producto = $productos[0];
wp_redirect(get_permalink($producto->ID));
exit;
}
}
}

If you are writing code, please wrap it like so: [php]code_here[/php]. Failure to complying with this, as well as going off topic or not using the English language will result in comment disapproval. You should expect a reply in about 2 weeks - this is a popular blog but I need to get paid work done first. Please consider joining the Business Bloomer Club to get quick WooCommerce support. Thank you!
