Redirection not working in this front end post submission form?

1. Your code is not in the right order and you need to exit the script after using wp_redirect try this:

   <?php 
   /* 
   Template Name: Rate Wine Form 
   */
   ?> 
   <?php 
   if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] ) &&  $_POST['action'] == "new_post") { 
   
       // Do some minor form validation to make sure there is content 
       if ($_POST['title'] != '') { 
           $title =  $_POST['title']; 
       } else { 
           echo 'Please enter the wine name'; 
           return false;
       } 
       if (isset ($_POST['description'])) { 
           $description = $_POST['description']; 
       } else { 
           echo 'Please enter some notes'; 
       } 
   
       $tags = $_POST['post_tags']; 
       $winerating = $_POST['winerating']; 
   
       // ADD THE FORM INPUT TO $new_post ARRAY 
       $new_post = array( 
       'post_title'    =>   $title, 
       'post_content'  =>   $description, 
       'post_category' =>   array($_POST['cat']),  // Usable for custom taxonomies too 
       'tags_input'    =>   array($tags), 
       'post_status'   =>   'publish',           // Choose: publish, preview, future, draft, etc. 
       'post_type' =>   'post',  //'post',page' or use a custom post type if you want to 
       'winerating'    =>   $winerating
       ); 
   
       //SAVE THE POST 
       $pid = wp_insert_post($new_post); 
   
                //KEEPS OUR COMMA SEPARATED TAGS AS INDIVIDUAL 
       wp_set_post_tags($pid, $_POST['post_tags']); 
   
   
   
       //ADD OUR CUSTOM FIELDS 
       add_post_meta($pid, 'rating', $winerating, true);  
   
       //INSERT OUR MEDIA ATTACHMENTS 
       if ($_FILES) { 
           foreach ($_FILES as $file => $array) { 
           $newupload = insert_attachment($file,$pid); 
           // $newupload returns the attachment id of the file that 
           // was just uploaded. Do whatever you want with that now. 
           } 
   
       } // END THE IF STATEMENT FOR FILES 
   
   
       //redirect to newly created post
       wp_redirect( get_permalink($pid) ); 
       exit();
   } // END THE IF STATEMENT THAT STARTED THE WHOLE FORM 
   
   ?>

2. This looks very much like this post: Not redirecting upon front-end post submission

   wp_redirect needs exit; after it.

   wp_redirect( 'http://www.google.com' );
   exit;

3. put

   <?php ob_start(); ?>
   

   at the beginning of the file…

   example
   <?php ob_start(); ?>
   <?php wp_header(); ?>
   

   and put

   <?php ob_flush(); ?>
   

   at the end of the file…

   example
   <?php wp_footer(); ?>
   <?php ob_flush(); ?>
