Question

I am new to wordpress and i want to transfer data from one page to another in wordpress. I used php to post my form data to a wordpress page. My code is:

<form method='post' action='http://www.example.com/www/create_website/'>
.....
<input type ='submit' value = 'OK'/>
</form>

But every time i clicked the submit button i got error page not found. Why it is so because link is loading the page in browser but not working for form post. How can i solve the issue???

Answer 1

If you need to go to one of your WordPress page, please don’t put the direct link in action.
Instead of that put the below php code.

<form method='post' action='<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/your-page-name/' > 

If you wants to go to a particular file inside your template directory put the below code

<form method='post' action='<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/your-page.php' > 

Check this WordPress codex page for more about bloginfo.

<?php bloginfo('url'); ?> 

will generate the base site url.
