I have a frontend form with a bunch of input. My requirements force me to use a custom shortcode to create the form. I have already tested a page with that shortcode.

Here's my :

<form name="myform" method="post" action="<?php echo str_replace( '%7E', '~', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Based on this, it should open up the same page (and it did). However, when I hit submit, I got 404 on that very same URL. Is there any solution?

UPDATE #1

I try different route, using add_action('init'):

add_action('init', 'mbro1_intercept_form_input');
function mbro1_intercept_form_input()
{
    if( !(isset($_POST['action_code']) && $_POST['action_code'] == 'mbro_intercept_form_input') )
        return "";
    if( isset( $_POST['submit'] ) )
    {
        //do my code here
        wp_redirect( get_permalink(35) );//page that has [shortcode]
    }
}

This successfully run my intended action on submit. But! upon redirection, it still got 404. I don't know what is wrong.

Does your form have an input with the name "name"? For example:

<input type="text" name="name">

If so, that will cause trouble. Change the name value.

Also see: Form 'name' breaks and goes to 404 page.

I'm assuming that the line near the end

wp_redirect( get_permalink(35) );//page that has form

is what is failing. I would change it to this

$redirect_link =  get_permalink(35) ; //page that has form
wp_redirect( $redirect_link );  // trigger redirect
exit;

that should cause it to function to work properly

  • it doesn't work either T_T Commented May 1, 2011 at 22:19
  • What is the 404 link, in specific? i.e. what's the URL of the page it's trying to redirect to and thus 404ing on? Commented May 2, 2011 at 0:29
  • it come from example.com/?page_id=35 and on submit, it goes to example.com/?page_id=35. After process, it should redirect to example.com/?page_id=35 so that when user hit refresh, it doesn't have any effect to site. Commented May 2, 2011 at 1:13

I take die() as solution. Though, I don't prefer this.

$redirect_link =  get_permalink(35) ; //page that has form
$script_redirect = "<div>Your form is submitted. Please wait a moment. If your browser didn't redirect, click <a href='$redirect_link'>here</a>.</div>
<script type='text/javasript' language='javascript'> 
    window.location = '$redirect_link';
</script> ";
die( $script_redirect );

  • Does it work if you add the die() after your call to wp_redirect()? Just calling the redirect does not stop script execution. You see this pattern in the core code too: wp_redirect( $somewhere ); exit;. Commented May 4, 2011 at 15:27
  • We'll somehow it work. I did try wp_redirect(); exit; Weird, right? Commented May 4, 2011 at 22:53
