There is a action hook in `wp_delete_post()` called `after_delete_post`. So hook a function in that hook and redirect your user to where ever you want. You can redirect to author's page by below code- add_action( 'trash_post', 'the_dramatist_redirect_after_post_delete' ); function the_dramatist_redirect_after_post_delete() { if ( !is_admin() ) { wp_safe_redirect( get_author_posts_url( get_current_user_id() ) ); exit(); } } Hope that helps.
