Redirecting to custom address after submitting a comment

Vote 0 Votes

Say my blog is at foo.org/blog, and someone leavs a comment on a post on this page, how can I specify a custom URL that they will be redirected to? Right now they are redirected to http://foo.org/blog/year/month/postname.html, but I want to redirect them to something like foo.org/index.php?page=year/month/postname.html, because I want to include it to my main page with php, how can this be done?

  • Hi Kvast,

    You may like to consider activating the comment confirmation page and on that one you may like to place a meta redirection tag with as many seconds as you want (0 for instant redirection) and with the mt:EntryPermalink for which you could replace the first part with what you want, or you could just reconstruct the portion of the entry URL that you want to use.

    To activate the "comment confirmation" page you have to go to:
    Preferences -> Comment

    underneath the heading:
    "Comment Display Options"

    check the box:
    "Use Comment Confirmation Page"

    Kind Regards,
    Mihai Bocsaru
