Hello, Im new here and very new to this. Im frustratingly building a splash page with all free wordpress stuff. I have the free Inbound Now lead capture program. What Im trying to do is after they hit "submit" they are forwarded to my affiliates website but cant figure this out for the life of me. Can anyone post a me a wiki or knowledge source for this? Thanks in advance.

      There's no issue with the url. I just don't know how to insert the link to the page in my "submit" button. I forgot to mention I'm using WordPress Lead Capture Pages Plug-in.

        I see. Sorry, I've never used that plugin. If you are still stuck if you want to post a screenshot of the settings available to you I can give you my 10 cents.

          Well, I'm just starting out so I'm not loyal to any platform. How would you do this and with what plug-in?

    Personally, I would use custom html code and wouldn't use WordPress or at least not for the form. It depends on if you are using a 3rd party autoresponder or if you need some simple php code to capture the lead's information before redirecting them to the next page.

    For example a form like this:
    <form method="post" action="/do-mycustomform.php">

    Would have a php file like this:
    <?php
    foreach ($_POST as $key=>$val)
    {
    //DO SOMETHING HERE. DEPENDS ON IF STORING IN DATABASE, OR SENDING EMAIL, ETC
    }

    header("Location: YOUR-URL.COM");
    exit();
    ?>



    Then just replace YOUR-URL.COM with your domain and upload it to the main web folder. This doesn't do anything with the information, but it would only take another line or two that I could help you with depending on what you want to do with the information of the form. his just demonstrates the redirect.

      Thanks for taking the time out to reply. I'll look into HTML. Coding actually seems simpler than learning Wordpress I will have full creative controll.
