    I feel like I must be overlooking this information because it seems like a pretty obvious feature. How can I have a frontend submission form redirect to the new post that is created upon submission of the form?

    Hi Nick,

    We can use the action hook rwmb_frontend_after_process then redirect to the new post by using the function get_post_permalink().

    add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_after_process', function( $config, $post_id ) {
    wp_safe_redirect( get_post_permalink(  $post_id ) );
    die;
}, 10, 2 );

    For more information, please follow documentations.

    FYI: This no longer works now that the frontend form is submitted via ajax. In order to redirect to the post, you need to do something like this:

    // Redirect to the newly created post
add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_after_process', function( $config, $post_id ) {
    $url = get_post_permalink(  $post_id );
    echo json_encode(
        array(
            'success'=>true, 
            'data'=> array(
                'message' => 'Your success message', 
                'redirect' => $url
            )
        )
    );
    die;
}, 10, 2 );
