   Hi I'm having problems with wp_redirect. I know it's because content is being served before the redirect, but not sure how to correct this because it's in a shortcode. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

   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 = "http://example.com/blahblahblah"
   //-->
   </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.
