How to Redirect Users from WordPress Form?

Key Takeaways

  • Nexter Blocks Form block redirects visitors to any link after submission, including a thank-you page on another website, and the browser opens the Link instead of showing the success message.
  • Action After Submit in the Form block uses Options > Redirect, and Email can stay selected so it still runs before the redirect.
  • Redirect troubleshooting checks that Redirect is selected in Options and that the Link starts with https://; if a form error occurs, such as a failed CAPTCHA, visitors stay on the page and see the error.

How It Behaves

  • After a successful submission the browser opens the Link instead of showing the success message.
  • Other actions you selected, such as Email, still run before the redirect.
  • It works in the free plugin and with Pro.

Limitations

  • With Redirect selected, the Success Message panel (Pro) is hidden because the message is never shown.
  • If the form shows an error, for example a failed CAPTCHA, visitors stay on the page and see the error.

Troubleshooting

Check Redirect is selected in Options and the Link starts with https://.
