[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Issues with ‘Redirecting to Another URL After Submission’

  • So what is the correct syntax to forward a submitted form to a thank you page? I’ve found half a dozen different ways and none of them seem to work both in IE and FF. Actually only one would work in FF and none in IE that I’ve been able to tell. But now that I’m trying them again none of them work in FF either. I think I’m going crazy.

    The most trustworthy site for reference I would guess would be: https://contactform7.com/2010/03/27/redirecting-to-another-url-after-submissions/ and this it states to use:
    on_sent_ok: “location = ‘https://example.com/’;”

    looking through the forums after this solution didn’t work I found:
    on_sent_ok: “location.href(‘https://example.com’);”
    on_sent_ok: “location.href = ‘https://example.com’;”
    on_sent_ok: “window.location=’https://example.com’;”
    on_sent_ok: “location.replace(‘https://example.com’);”

    The emails still get sent but the redirect does not. But when I put these on_sent_ok lines into the additional settings, the emails are sent but the feedback success message doesn’t show up anymore. Validation error messages do still show up though.

    I’m using the latest version of the plugin (2.2.1) I have taken care to make sure the theme and the page include the wp_footer and have viewed the source on the page containing the form and see the /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/scripts.js?ver=2.2.1 file. I love this plugin, but have spent the better part of a full day trying to get this to work. Thought it was fixed once but then I checked the internet exploder and no dice. Any clarification or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • I just reset a site to use jQuery 1.3.2 and redirecting works fine. It wouldn’t work with WP 3.0 and the newer jQuery 1.4.2 that it ships with.

    Hope this helps.

    @maorba I did change the page ID. Here is what my header.php file looks like:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
<title><?php bf_title(); ?></title>
<?php bf_metaTags(); ?>
<?php bf_head(); ?>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php 

if ($bf_feed_url) echo $bf_feed_url; else bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
<?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<?php if (!is_page('413')) :?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/script.js"></script>
<?php endif;?>

</head>
<body>
<?php bf_top(); ?>

<!-- begin #container -->
<div id="container" class="clearfix">
<?php bf_top_container(); ?>

<!-- begin #header -->
<div id="header" class="clearfix">
<?php bf_header(); ?>
</div>
<!-- end #header -->

<?php bf_belowheader(); ?>

    @mattfelten How did you downgrade your jquery? I’ve been trying to figure that out, as I’ve read in a few other places that it’s a jquery/WP 3.0 compatibility issue. For now, I’ve just disabled jquery altogether in contact-form-7/wp-contact-form-7.php:

    if ( ! defined( 'WPCF7_LOAD_JS' ) )
	define( 'WPCF7_LOAD_JS', false );

    I’ve also changed my success message to include a link to the redirect page where users can complete their registration purchase. I admit it’s a terrible workaround, but it’s all I’ve found that will work.

    I was wondering if there was a way to make the page a _blank page. In other words to open up a new page instead of redirecting.

    Thanks!

    Any new word on this? I can’t believe it hasn’t been addressed with more emphasis!

    Hello,

    I am having the same issue! cant redirect to thank you page.
    tried everything but doesnt seem to be working.
    I have wordpres 3.0 contact form Version 2.3
    any solutions?

    Is there any way to add onClick function to the submit button?
    onClick=”href…..” somethink like that?

    what does script.js file do exactly, I am confused! when I disable this file (script.js) the form still works!
    and in the edit section of the plugins it says:
    “Editing contact-form-7/scripts.js (inactive)” why is that?

    Thanks

    I had a strange issue with slashes being inserted into my form code as if it was trying to escape quotes for php but here it was in the html. I removed them all (and uploaded the dev version of cf7) and all working now. hope that helps someone.

    I answered my own question:

    on_sent_ok: window.open(‘https://dude.org&#8217;, ‘_blank’);

    Does anyone know how to get the thankyou url? I dont want a separate page…just to track it but I dont understand anything ive read so far..
