Redirect after Marker submission

[janoschasen]

Hello,
after a VGM is submitted there happens a redirect to this page: /wp-admin/admin-post.php instead of a reload.
Did i set up something incorrectly or is there a current bug?

Best regards,
Janosch

Hi Janosch,

Thank you for getting in touch with us, we do appreciate your time.

Thank you for the link, thus I have debugged this issue accordingly and found the cause of the issue.

It appears that we called a WordPress function called wp_safe_redirect() after the marker has been added/submitted, however it appears that WordPress now does not automatically exit after the function is called, thus requires the exit() function to be called manually directly afterwards.

With that said, please may I ask if you would be able to follow the steps below to edit the core code of the VGM Add-on:
1. Navigate to Plugins -> Plugin File Editor.
2. Select the “WP Google Maps – Visitor Generated Markers Add-on” in the top-right select dropdown.
3. Click the “Select” button.
4. Ensure that the ‘wp-google-maps-ugm.php’ file is selected in the “Plugin Files” navigator on the right-side panel.
5. Scroll down to around line 1082 whereby you should find the ‘wp_safe_redirect()’ function.
6. Add a new line with the following code: exit();
7. Click the “Update File” button.

The new code section should appear like this:

// Redirect to this page.
wp_safe_redirect($_POST['redirect_to']);
exit();

Once this has been done, please may you confirm if the issue has been resolved?

Should you not be comfortable in making these changes, please may I ask if you may reply in a private reply and provide me with your email address so that I may reach out to you directly regarding this?

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Kindest Regards,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,

thanks for the quick answer. The Exit-Function works like a charm!
(the redirect was at line 1058 here – if someone doesn’t find ist search for the “wp_safe_redirect”)

Best regards and thx a lot

Thanks so much for posting this fix! The same error is happening on the demo page (https://www.wpgmaps.com/demo/visitor-generated-markers/), FYI. I’m sure you’ll get it sorted and updated soon, but just wanted to add my +1 for help fixing this bug. Thanks for the awesome plugin!
