Redirect user to specific page after form submission

Redirect User to Specific Page After Form Submission

When users complete a registration form submission, the next step in their journey is crucial. Instead of leaving them on the same page or showing a generic confirmation message, redirecting them to a specific page can enhance their experience and maximize engagement.

Users who are guided effectively after registration are more likely to stay engaged. Redirecting them to a resource page, exclusive content, or a special offer can increase their interest and keep them returning to the site.

Redirecting user to a specific page after form submission is easy with RegistrationMagic; you can manage this workflow from a simple setting in your WordPress form dashboard.

Configuring the User Redirection Feature

Click on the RegistrationMagic plugin menu from your WordPress dashboard. Here, you will find all the forms that you create through this plugin. Now as you move your cursor on any form you will find two links appearing at the bottom corners. These are the Dashboard and Fields link. Click on Dashboard to proceed ahead.

From the form Dashboard, the “Post Submission” section allows you to configure the redirection steps after submission.

On the Post Submission settings page, look for the setting “Redirection“. It’ll have three options to choose from. These are “None”, “Page” and “URL”. Choosing “None” will simply leave redirection disabled. Choosing “Page” will allow you to select a page from your site to redirect the user to. And choosing “URL” will allow you to enter a custom URL where you need to redirect the user after form submission.

Choosing the Page Where You Want to Redirect the User

For this example, we’ll be selecting the “Page” option for redirection. From the pages drop-down, select the page you are going to redirect the user to. You can select any page on your site in this list.

In our example, we will be redirecting the user to the “Submissions” page. Then click the “Save” button. Now when the user submits your form, they’ll be redirected automatically to the selected page after form submission.

Redirecting users after registration is a simple yet powerful strategy that enhances user experience, boosts engagement, and drives conversions. By guiding users to the right destination, businesses can improve retention rates and ensure that users get the most out of their platform or service. Implementing a well-thought-out redirection strategy can make a significant difference in the success of an online platform. And RegistrationMagic can help you achieve that with ease.

Hi,
I don’t want to redirect and I selected the “None” option. But the page is still reloaded after submission. Is it possible to NOT reload the page?
It’s because my form is into an expandable section that the user has to click in, and after the reload this section is collapsed by default. So the success message (or eventually the failed message because of reCaptcha) is not visible.
Thx for helping.

Hi Matock,

To allow submission of form without page reload, please use the HTML form embed code instead of the shortcode.

Can we customize the URL according to the answer from the field value that we created?
URL example: https://example.com/{dropdown_field_value}

Hi Dil,

The URL field value cannot be customized automatically based on input of other fields.

Is it possible to change the text after the form submission that says “Redirecting you to….”?

Hi Jeremy,

This can’t be edited from the backend. But you can change it using LOCO translate if you want to translate it to another language.

Thanks for the reply, where in the backend exactly?

I see, is there not a way to edit the text in the plugin editor? There is also a lot of tags which space it out too much. If I remove the br tags using css then there is no space between ‘Redirecting you to’ and the ‘next page text’ which looks odd.

Hi there,

Is there no way this can be editted? Not even through the plugin editor?

I want to redirect after a Login. My process is that user’s register, then we configure their accounts and activate them and notify them. From that point forward a Login form is used to control access and provide necessary parametric information. However, I need to redirect to a URL, not an existing WordPress page. Like I can for a Registration Form.

Currently, the requested feature is unavailable. However, we have analyzed and added the feature to our road-map list. It may be included in one of our upcoming versions. Note that the features implementation is driven by user demand and on first come first basis, so we cannot give a timeline at this point. We will mention the feature in the change log on our plugin page at WordPress.Org, once it’s available. Thank you for the feedback.

I can redirect after login, but I cannot Display the Username on a Welcome page. I tried the [RM_Front_Submissions] shortcode on the page I redirected to, but the session doesn’t even know that the user logged in. It is stupid, and I submitted a ticket, but nobody has responded.

Go to RegistrationMagic> RM_Login ‘Dashboard’> in ‘logged in view’> enable: display user’s name > save it.

Please make sure you are using the latest version of RegistrationMagic. Also, go to RegistrationMagic-> Dashboard of the form-> Post submission-> Redirection. Here select the URL or page you want the user to redirect to.

To redirect user to a new page after form submission, go to RegistrationMagic > Dashboard of the form > Post submission > Set redirection to a required page or URL > Save. Post submission, redirection needs to be set individually for each form.
