Are you looking for a way to automatically redirect a user to the new post or page after it is published? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to redirect user to new post when published using wp_redirect.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
add_filter('redirect_post_location', 'redirect_to_post_on_publish_or_save');
function redirect_to_post_on_publish_or_save($location){
if (isset($_POST['save']) || isset($_POST['publish'])) {
if (preg_match("/post=([0-9]*)/", $location, $match)) {
$pl = get_permalink($match[1]);
if ($pl) {
wp_redirect($pl);
}
}
}
}

Hello,
I want to redirect to the post list after click on the “Publish” or “Update” button.
Can I use this snippet?
Thank you
