Does Chronoforms redirect work in Wordpress? I've followed the advice given here in the Chronoforms Wordpress forums and have noticed other people saying that it is not working in a couple of other posts.
I had used Chronoforms on Joomla and it worked great so I went and bought it for Wordpress only to find the functionality doesn't seem to be working especially variable redirect which is the reason that I bought it.
Please advise.

Hi mikeenan,

Please ask Max, the owner and developer, directly using the Contact Us menu above. I don't know enough about CF on WordPress to give you a clear answer here :-(

Bob,
I appreciate the reply even if you can't help. I've filled out the contact form and I hope to get a reply soon. I really like the features of Chronoforms in Joomla and hope that the same functionality exists in Wordpress.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I have an old WP site that I can try and install CF on to see if I can work out what is (or isn't) happening.

Bob,
Thanks so much. Let me know what you find out.
Thanks!

Hi Mike,

I have a workaround for this using JavaScript - so far I haven't found a reliable way to do the redirection when the form is embedded in an post.

Open the file /wp-content/plugins/chronoforms5/cegcore/libs/env.php and look for the redirect() function around line 14

  public static function redirect($url){
    header('Location: '.str_replace('&', '&', $url));
    ob_end_flush();
    exit();
  }

Replace the function with this version:

  public static function redirect($location){
    $location = str_replace('&', '&', $location);
    if ( !headers_sent() ) {
      wp_redirect( $location, 301 );
      exit;
    } else {
      echo "<div>Redirecting, please <a href='{$location}'>click here</a> if you are not redirected in 10 seconds.</div>";
      echo "<script> self.location='{$location}'; </script>";
      exit;
    }
    ob_end_flush();
    exit();
  }

When you submit the original page shows briefly then the script redirects to the requested URL.

Bob,
Thanks for the try, but this doesn't seem to make a difference.
I was able to make the changes that you specified and the only difference was that my path was
/wp-content/plugins/chronoforms/cegcore/libs/env.php and not /wp-content/plugins/chronoforms5/cegcore/libs/env.php
The chronoforms folder did not have a 5 on the end but I do have Version 5.0.9
Just to be clear, I am following the procedure outlined in this post using the event switcher and redirect options.

Thanks again!

Hi MIke,

It's working OK when I test, maybe there's a JavaScript error on your page? Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.
