Placement of wp_redirect() in template

[milana_cap]

It doesn't say on ​| this page where in template file should wp_redirect() function be called. If placed in wrong place, there could be created confusion and impression that function doesn't work.

So, it should be placed before get_header();

In case page is redirected only under certain condition, it would be something like:

/**
 * Redirect only if this condition is met
 */
if ( certain_condition ) {
	wp_redirect( $location );
	exit;
}
/**
 * Otherwise render the page
 */
get_header();

That other ticket is invalid. I posted it to a wrong place.

@milana_cap ,

Sorry I didn't want to show disrespect or anything.

I said it was a duplicate because as it was stated from cofee2code on your other post, you should contribute your Note in ​https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/ , in the user notes.

This section of the website would be used only if you wanted to add a note in the actual function code.

What you are suggesting has nothing to do with the inline code though. It's a template reference of how it could be used so it should be on the user notes on the developers documentations.

Oh, no need to be sorry. You did not show any disrespect. I am sorry if you got that impression.

I've been going with this issue all over the place :D and am not sure where it belongs any more.. haha

All the best,
Milana

You can use this link here -> ​https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/#add-note-or-feedback , and just type your explanation of the function there so it will be added in the User Notes section of that page that is about the wp_redirect. So when users are trying to find information they can see your note / suggestion as well in the user manual.
