I’ve been searching endlessly for a solution but i cant seem to get my custom code to not produce a parsererror message when trying to redirect.

I created a code snippet (that injects into functions.php) that creates a custom action for elementor form. This action basically creates a new post (for a custom post). In the ‘run’ function i can even error_log out the permalink of this new post.

Now i just want to redirect the user to this new post after the submission is successful, but it keeps throwing a parser error. The code does work, the post is created and the link is produced correctly via the $permalink variable i use.

Anyone can guide me the right way? Here is my code.

function add_new_createtravelplan_action($form_actions_registrar) {

    class CreateTravelPlan_Action_After_Submit extends ElementorProModulesFormsClassesAction_Base {

        /**
         * Get action name.
         *
         * Retrieve CreateTravelPlan action name.
         *
         * @since 1.0.0
         * @access public
         * @return string
         */
        public function get_name() {
            return 'createtravelplan';
        }

        /**
         * Get action label.
         *

        }

I even tried to use JS – which threw a parsererror

Weird thing, no error on debug log, no error nginx log, none in php…
