Admin Post Update Redirection to Posts Screen

1. Use the redirect_post_location filter and admin_url() function.

   add_filter( 'redirect_post_location', 'wpse_124132_redirect_post_location' );
   /**
    * Redirect to the edit.php on post save or publish.
    */
   function wpse_124132_redirect_post_location( $location ) {
   
       if ( isset( $_POST['save'] ) || isset( $_POST['publish'] ) )
           return admin_url( "edit.php" );
   
       return $location;
   }
   

   To redirect to a different url, add everything after the /wp-admin/ portion of the url. I used "edit.php" because the intended url was: http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/edit.php.

   The redirect_post_location filter is not documented in the Codex Filter Reference. You can find it in the wp-adminpost.php file near line 73. This is the WordPress code in the trunk version of WordPress:

   wp_redirect( apply_filters( 'redirect_post_location', $location, $post_id ) );
   

   As you can see, you can also test the $post_id redirect based on the $post_id or any information obtained from it. To use this second parameter of the filter, you need to pass the priority and _accepted_args_ parameters in the filter call:

   add_filter( 'redirect_post_location', 'wpse_124132_redirect_post_location', 10, 2 );
   

   And update the function parameters:

   /**
    * Redirect to the edit.php on post save or publish.
    */
   function wpse_124132_redirect_post_location( $location, $post_id ) {
   
       if ( isset( $_POST['save'] ) || isset( $_POST['publish'] ) ) {
           // Maybe test $post_id to find some criteria.
           return admin_url( "edit.php" );
       }
   
       return $location;
   }
