wp_redirect after insert post with shortcode

Hi Beck,

A server redirection using the add_shortcode function will simply never be possible, as you mentioned it there will be always content served before the shortcode function is triggered.
What you should do instead is a javascript redirection but this is not very sexy.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Maybe there’s another solution.

Cheers,
Ben

Ok Beck,

If you want it to work with a JS redirection the solution will look like that.

Try it out and let me know how does it go.

Thanks, after some tinkering I got it to work. Something was wrong previously but now it’s fine!

Hi.
I am having the same problem.
Did you manage to make it work with a shortcode?
If so could you post the solution?

Thanks.

Hi there,

After the wp_insert post add this

return ‘<script type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
window.location = “https://example.com/blahblahblah&#8221;
//–>
</script>’;

The problem with this is it’s a bit clunky – it will still half load the form submission page and then redirect after. But that is fine for what I needed.
