  I’m trying to implement forward and masking of a url. I have a page hosted on vercel.com as mynewpage.vercel.app. The rest of my page are hosted on WordPress on myotherpages.com. I want for when the user types in myotherpages.com/newpage or navigates there from the nav bar for them to be forwarded to mynewpage.verce.app, but have the url in the address appear as myotherpages.com/newpage. I’m using the divi theme for all the other pages.

  So far I’ve installed a file manager plugin to get access to the htaccess file. I added this to the file:

  # BEGIN Custom Redirect and Masking
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/myotherpages.com/newpage$
  RewriteRule ^/myotherpages.com/newpage$ https://mynewpage.vercel.app [R=302,L]
  # END Custom Redirect and Masking
  `</code></pre>
  
  
  
  <p>And this to my functions.php file. </p>
  
  
  
  <pre class="wp-block-code"><code>function custom_redirect_my_new_page() {
      if (is_page('myotherpages.com/newpage')) {
          wp_redirect('https://mynewpage.vercel.app');
          exit();
      }
  }
  add_action('template_redirect', 'custom_redirect_my_new_page');</code></pre>
  
  
  
  <p>I'm able to be redirected but the masking isn't working. I'm using Divi theme, but I don't think that's relevant. </p>

  Hi @latifah44! You’ve reached out to WordPress.com, but the sites you mentioned are not hosted here. The only sites you have with us are https://zincchef.wordpress.com/ and https://test13072.wordpress.com/ which don’t seem to be being used.

  Based on your description, it sounds like you have a self-hosted WordPress.org site, which we cannot provide support for. Please contact your hosting provider or post to the WordPress.org Forums.
