redirect does not work in ajax function

7 Views

I’m using ajax to post the form data. In the end I want to redirect to homepage. I’m trying following code, it does not work. It returns error 302.
How can I redirect in the following function? Thanks. 

add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_custom_register', 'custom_register');
add_action('wp_ajax_custom_register', 'custom_register');

function custom_register(){

    //process

    wp_redirect( home_url() );
    exit;
}

  1. The AJAX request runs in the background. Redirects here do not affect the main page. And 302 is not an error, it is just a status code.

    Your AJAX response should return either the URL and the status code to the calling page or just a number like 1. Then you handle the redirect in the calling page:

    jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
    var url = '<?php echo home_url(); ?>';
    $( '#ajaxtrigger' ).on( 'click',
        function() {
            $.post( ajaxurl, {}, function( response ) {
                if ( 1 == response )
                    top.location.replace(url);
            });
            return false;
        }
    );
});

  2. It’s some years behind but I think this answer can help others:

    I have used a function to redirect from a JS AJAX call. First, it sets some values to database and then tries to redirect in this way:

    if (wp_safe_redirect( $url))

    exit();

    But it just returns same page followed by ‘undefined’.

    I finally solved directly the redirection part in JS:

    window.location.href = url; // keeps page history

    Works also :

    window.location.replace( url ); // cleans page history

  3. If you want to redirect then use javascript window.lcation="your url" in your php code.

    Try this in your function that is called by the ajax call;

    add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_custom_register', 'custom_register');
add_action('wp_ajax_custom_register', 'custom_register');

function custom_register(){

    //process

    $url = home_url(); 

    ?>
       <script>

        demo(); //function name of jscript

        function demo()
        {
            window.location="<?php echo $url ?>";
        }

       </script>

    <?php exit;
}
