Page redirect after a certain amount of time
3 replies · Started by Mike on May 21, 2021
I'm setting up forms on a website and when the form is submitted, I'm redirecting them to a contact thank you page. How can I make that page then redirect back to the home page after a certain amount of time, say 5 seconds?
I saw this code here, but not sure where and how to implement it. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/How-to-use-JavaScript-to-redirect-a-webpage-after-5-seconds
Not sure if this is GeneratePress specific enough for support, if not no worries about deleting it!
Thanks!

Hi there,
try using the code that topic provided:
1. Create a new Hook Element:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-element-overview/
2. Add the script to the Hook text area:
<script>
setTimeout(function(){
window.location.href = 'https://www.tutorialspoint.com/javascript/';
}, 5000);
</script>Change the href to your home page.
3. Set the Hook to: wp_head
4. Set the Display Rules > Location to your thank you page.
Thank you David! Perfect!
Glad to be of help.
