How to redirect your homepage to the first post

To apply this tip, paste the code below to your homepage file (Most of the time it is named index.php). Please note that you’ll receive a PHP warning if you try to display anything before the wp_redirect() function on line 10.

<?php
/*
home.php (Blog Home Page):
Redirect To First Post
*/

if (have_posts()) {
    while (have_posts()) {
        the_post();
        wp_redirect(get_permalink());
    }
}
?>
