Description
Note: wp_redirect() does not exit automatically, and should almost always be followed by a call to exit;
:
wp_redirect( $url );
exit;
Exiting can also be selectively manipulated by using wp_redirect() as a conditional
in conjunction with the ‘wp_redirect’ and ‘wp_redirect_location’ filters:
if ( wp_redirect( $url ) ) {
exit;
}
