Hello!
There are several options for redirection after the publication of the post. For example, the post page:
'return' => '%post_url%',
or to any page:
'return' => home_url('contact-form-thank-you'),
Is it possible to substitute the ID of a new post in the link? I want to immediately after the creation of the page to edit it using the frontend Visual Composer. I should get this link: http://mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?vc_action=vc_inline&post_id=2&post_type=page. How to set up a redirect for this?

Hi @buylov

Maybe you can try this code?

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
    // check if this is to be a new post
    $GLOBALS['acf_form']['return'] = add_query_arg( array(
        'vc_action' => 'vc_inline',
        'post_id' => $post_id,
        'post_type' => 'page',
    ), 'http://mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php');

    // return the new ID
    return $post_id;
}

add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post', 10, 1 );

Please take a look at this thread to learn more about it: http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/pass-new-post_id-to-url-or/.

Hope this helps.

I apologize for clarification. But is there a way to use this code only to certain types of posts, in particular, only the pages?

Hi @buylov

Something like this maybe?

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
    if( get_post_type($post_id) == 'page' ){
        $GLOBALS['acf_form']['return'] = add_query_arg( array(
            'vc_action' => 'vc_inline',
            'post_id' => $post_id,
            'post_type' => 'page',
        ), 'http://mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php');
    }

    // return the new ID
    return $post_id;
}

add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post', 10, 1 );

Don’t forget to set 'post_type' => 'page', in your acf_form() function.

Hope this helps.
