How to Redirect on submit

    We are trying to convert a Joomla site to WordPress, and given that this is my most familiar contact form, went with it. The trouble is the old form had a redirect where we could embed several paypal buttons. Since I don’t know of any paypal plugin for contact form 7 that lets you do the ‘multiple options’ thing, I figured I’d have to stick with redirecting to a page with the different buttons (at least for now).

    But the instructions for the redirect are not working for me. I tried these instructions and added the code with the correct URL in the header.php. https://contactform7.com/redirecting-to-another-url-after-submissions/

    Am I missing something? Putting it in the wrong place? All I get is ‘your message has been sent’ instead of the redirect.

  • You can go to contact form -> edit form ->(look in the top there is some tab form/mail/messages/Additional setting/) go to additional setting -> copy paste this line

    on_sent_ok:”location.replace(‘https://www.example.com’);”

    set your Redirect line on https://www.example.com save that.
    And then in that form submit will take you to your expected link and form will be submitted. You can try this.

    ?? Thanks. Just tried it. Still getting the same message. No redirect at all. It did say the function was going to be removed eventually but I don’t get why new code is not working either.

    This metod have to be the better ??

    Try and let me know if is working.

    1. Add a new page with Thank You message and save with alias thank-you.

    1. Go to contact form 7 additional setting, paste and save :

    on_sent_ok: “location.replace(‘https://www.xyz.com/thank-you’);”
    <\code>

    ?? I already tried that code. Either it still gives message sent or it chokes and never submits. It does say that was being deprecated and I think its already dead.

    I went ahead and bought a third party plugin that redirects to paypal (after trying the free version here.) The redirect did start working at one point but I have NO idea why it suddenly worked and before it didn’t. It was on a development site with no caching!
