Redirecting user after updating profile?

Question

I have been working around with adding stuff in user profile edit area. I am done with that but there is one thing I am unable to sort out.

What I am planning to do is to redirect a user to a custom page (custom member page) after they successfully edited their profile (wp-admin/profile.php) . In case of error they stay there. Help is appreciate :) Thanks

Answer 1

This is the function that you need:

add_action( 'profile_update', 'custom_profile_redirect', 12 );
function custom_profile_redirect() {
    if(is_admin()):
        wp_redirect( trailingslashit( home_url() ) );
        exit;
    endif;
}

Just change the target of wp_redirect to whatever URL you want your users to go to. You can even add conditional logic to it if you only want this to happen for certain users, like the function below:

add_action( 'profile_update', 'custom_profile_redirect', 12 );
function custom_profile_redirect() {
    if ( is_admin() && current_user_can( 'subscriber' ) ) {
        wp_redirect( trailingslashit( home_url() ) );
        exit;
    }
}

Hope this helps! You can learn more about it from this tutorial I wrote.

Answer 2

add_action('personal_options_update', 'redirect_me');
function redirect_me(){
  wp_redirect(home_url('/'));
  exit;
}

Answer 3

this is old but i'll add to this as i was looking for a similar solution and this was the closest result.

personal_options_update fires before updating the profile

profile_update fires after the updating the profile

add_action('profile_update', 'redirect_me');
function redirect_me(){
  wp_redirect(home_url('/'));
  exit;
}
