I have a parent post (project) that has many child posts (Project entries)

They have a relation ship called 'project-entries_to_projects'

I have an edit button that allows users to edit project entries. (/add-project-entry/?rwmb_frontend_field_post_id={{ post.ID }})

I am using rwmb_frontend_after_process to manage redirections when forms are submitted.

When a user edits a project entry I would like to redirect them to the parent project page that entry connects to.

Is there a way to get the ID or URL of the parent page while inside the hook rwmb_frontend_after_process?

Thanks so much everyone!

Hi Warren,

You can try to get the connected post (parent project) based on the post ID (project entry) in the callback function. And redirect to the connected post by ID.

Something like:
```
add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_after_process', function( $config, $post_id ) {
    if ( 'my-meta-box' === $config['id'] ) {
        $pages = MB_Relationships_API::get_connected( [
            'id'   => 'project-entries_to_projects',
            'from' => $post_id,
        ] );

        $p = reset( $pages );
        wp_safe_redirect( get_the_permalink( $p->ID ) );

        die;
    }
}, 10, 2 );
```
