// you should choose the appropriate tag here // template_redirect is fired just before any html output // see - http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference add_action('template_redirect', 'check_for_event_submissions'); function check_for_event_submissions(){ if(isset($_POST['event'])) // && (get_query_var('pagename') === 'events) { // process your data here, you'll use wp_insert_post() I assume wp_redirect($_POST['redirect_url']); // add a hidden input with get_permalink() die(); } } |
