Re: Redirecting Landing Page URLs

Hi, I'm trying to redirect a landing page to our website homepage. I understand from other discussions how it's done through "Admin > Landing pages". However, i would like to delay the redirect by a few seconds/minutes. How can I do that?

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=http://example.com/"> in the HEAD of your document. "5" == 5 seconds.

"A few minutes" sounds like a really confusing user experience. 

What is the overall purpose of redirecting without user interaction?

I tried your meta but even with 5 seconds or 10 it's still redirecting after 3 seconds. I've tried a few other scripts and html as well but no matter what number I insert it redirects after 3 seconds. Not a huge deal but we want users to be able to read the content we have before it redirects. Basically, we are redirecting past webinar registration LPs to this generic expired landing page which should then redirect after 5 seconds to our Webinar Resource web page. We wanted to add a little more content to what we have now but viewers wouldn't be able to catch it all in 3 seconds: http://solutions.healthcaresource.com/expired-webinar.html 

This page currently has your meta tag in the Head HTML.

The landing page is a Thank You page which i then want to redirect after a few seconds to our homepage.

I added the meta tag but for some reason it's not redirecting to the correct page. It keeps on just redirecting to the landing page rather than the homepage URL i inserted. Any idea why that is?

Hi Elena,

Provide the URL of your page.

No, the faulty one, meaning the one with the form

The landing page from which I want to redirect is: http://info.alomone.com/Thank-You.html

Hi Elana Shama​,

Your code looks like this :

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5"; url="http://www.alomone.com"/>

it should be:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=http://www.alomone.com"/>

You need to remove 2 "

hello Greg

Comment rediriger la Thank you page je n'ai pas compris ou mettre exactement le meta tag?

je pensais qu'on pouvait à partir de la form utilisée (dans form settings) dans la landing page, rediriger vers une thank you page, attendre 10 secondes et rediriger ensuite vers une page du site web...

Hi Bérangère,

Switching back to English for the benefit of other readers

The technique above works to redirect a lead entering a page to another page after a few seconds.

It can work to redirect a thank you page to another page. If you want to do this, add the Meta tag at the top of the first Thank you page (the one that shows immediately after the form is filled out).

Call me on Monday morning, if you wish.
