'wp_redirect' is not working

There is an HTML form input. Here's the code:

<?php if(isset($_POST['login'])) {
wp_redirect("/");
}

<form accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" >
...
<center><input name="login" type="submit" value="вход" />
</form>

But redirect doesn't work. Install debug plugin redirects to wp, that's what it showed.

PS:

<?php wp_redirect( 'http://www.example.com', 301 ); exit; ?>

It does not work either.

I think your code doesn't begin with that `if` condition!

`wp_redirect` will send an header, so printing/echoing something before it, will have result in failure.

So check and see if before this:

if(isset($_POST['login']))
{
wp_redirect("/");
exit;
}

there is no character out put. Also do not forget to put `exit;` right after `wp_redirect`.

Try the following, which also forces on error reporting:

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_WARNING | E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);


flush();
header("Location:

);
die('should have redirected by now');

Edit:

Since it's giving you the `headers already sent` warning, try adding the following at the very **beginning** of your code:

`ob_start();`

Use the follwing code:-

function app_output_buffer() {
ob_start();
} // soi_output_buffer
add_action('init', 'app_output_buffer');

Or add
ob_start() as first line of your own function which hook into 'init'

Don't forget to add

exit();

immediately after your call to

wp_redirect($url);

Just use this as per below:

ob_clean();
$url = get_home_url() . '/login';
wp_redirect($url);
exit();

Or you could use Javascript as well for redirection purpose.

<script>window.location='http://www.google.com'</script>

I faced same problem and none of these solutions worked for me.

The only thing that I noticed is different at the page is that I used `wp_redirect` below `get_header()` and it will work fine if you used it above it.

Make sure you don't have: `get_header();` or any wordpress function that potentially creates contents like header and footer in your template. Otherwise the redirection won't work.

Some developers try to clear the page by using `ob_start();` but if you have content in your page even if you use `ob_start();` the redirection won't work.

and then simply try this code:

wp_redirect(get_permalink($post->ID));
exit;
