// Category slug => page path, for example 'news' => '/newsroom/'.
$wpide_category_redirects = array();

add_action( 'template_redirect', function () use ( $wpide_category_redirects ) {
    if ( ! is_category() || is_feed() ) {
        return;
    }

    $term = get_queried_object();

    if ( $term instanceof WP_Term && isset( $wpide_category_redirects[ $term->slug ] ) ) {
        wp_safe_redirect( home_url( $wpide_category_redirects[ $term->slug ] ), 301 );
        exit;
    }
} );
