By default Caldera Forms does not refresh the page after a form submission. This article will explain how you can reload the same page after Caldera Forms submissions.
- Disable AJAX submissions – By turning of AJAX submissions, the process of submitting the form will require a page refresh. This works but is not a great user experience.
- Use a redirect process or to redirect with the {embed_post:permalink} magic tag as the URL setting in the redirect processor. This will work on single pages or posts, but is not the most reliable way to generate a URL of the current page.
- Use a hidden field that has the {current_url} magic tag as its value, and then use the magic tag of that field as the URL setting in the redirect processor.
- NOTE: The {current_url} magic tag was added in Caldera Forms 1.5.2
Setting Up Caldera Forms To Redirect To The Same Page
