Front end post creation, redirect after save

I love the front-end form feature in ACF, it’s been a lifesaver for a recent project of mine.

I do have one query though, how can I redirect a user to the newly created post once they’ve saved their post?

This is my function if that helps solve the problem;

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id )
{
    // check if this is to be a new post
    if( $post_id != 'new' )
    {
        return $post_id;
    }
 
    // Create a new post
    $post = array(
        'post_status'  => 'publish' ,
        'post_title' => $_POST['fields']['field_53092f8a31827'],
        'post_type'  => 'profile' ,
    );  
 
    // insert the post
    $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post ); 
 
    // update $_POST['return']
    $_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );  
    
    // return the new ID
    return $post_id;  

 
}
 

Thanks in advance

Hi @poisontonomes

You can modify $_POST['return'] with your URL.

Thanks

Apologies for my brain,

But could you give an example?

At the moment i’m playing with this:
$_POST[‘http://www.google.com’%5D = add_query_arg( array(‘post_id’ => $post_id), $_POST[‘http://www.google.com’%5D );
