If you want paginated pages to not redirect, you can check the [`is_paged()`](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_paged) boolean. It will return true if you're on an archive page greater than page 1 ( the first page of the archive ). So if it returns false, it means we're on the page you want redirected.

	function my_page_template_redirect(){
	    if( is_category( 'news-articles' ) && !is_paged() ){
	        $url = site_url( '/news' );
	        wp_safe_redirect( $url, 301 );
	        exit();
	    }
	}
    add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_page_template_redirect' );

Alternatively, you can check the current paged value with [`get_query_var()`](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_query_var), which would look like:

	function my_page_template_redirect(){
	    if( is_category( 'news-articles' ) && get_query_var( 'paged' ) == 0 ){
	        $url = site_url( '/news' );
	        wp_safe_redirect( $url, 301 );
	        exit();
	    }
	}
    add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_page_template_redirect' );
