# Shortcode redirection not working

 * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-redirection-not-working/)
 * Installed Easy Sign Up Plugin version Version 3.2 with WordPress 3.9.1
 * All works well except the redirection URL is always the one specified in the 
   plugin dashboard, NOT the one added in the shortcode.
 * The shortcode is all on ONE line.
    [easy_sign_up title=”SIGN UP FOR WEIGHT LOSS
   UPDATES” fnln=”1″ phone=”0″ esu_label=”WEIGHT LOSS” esu_r_url=”greaterbostonhypnosis.
   com/positive-change/”]
 * I have used the http:// and without as in above code, in the URL.
    BOTH take 
   me to the home page, as set in the plugin dashboard.
 * the webpage with Easy Plugin is: [http://greaterbostonhypnosis.com/weight-loss/](http://greaterbostonhypnosis.com/weight-loss/)

 * Hi charlieusa,
    I believe that when you copied and pasted the `esu_r_url=` into
   your post/page editor some of the formatting must have come with it.
 * Have a look at the shortcode in the editor using text mode.
 * Visual mode is the “What You See Is What You Get” view which is normally the 
   default for most of us.
 * You can change this by clicking on the Text tab at the top right of the editor
   window.
 * Once you locate and remove the formatting everything should work for you.
 * Cheers and thanks for using my plugin.

 * Hi GreenWeb
 * Thanks for a quick reply..
 * I don’t see in the code where I need to change (or remove) some formating.
 * Below is the copy from the TEXT tab of the code.
    Could you point out the unneccessary
   formating.
 *  `[easy_sign_up title="``SIGN UP FOR WEIGHT LOSS UPDATES`” <abbr title=”Show 
   First and Last Names”>fnln=”1″</abbr> phone=”0″ esu_label=`"WEIGHT LOSS"` esu_class
   =”my-class-name” <abbr title=”Override the redirect”>esu_r_url=”`<abbr title="
   Override the redirect">greaterbostonhypnosis.com/positive-change/</abbr>`“</abbr
   >]
 * ———————
 * In the above code I would like the visitor to be redirected to the web page greaterbostonhypnosis.
   com/positive-change/
    and NOT the home page (as set in the easy signup dashboard.
 * I could just change the dashboard setting… but then I could only use this plugin
   once on the site. I was expecting to take the visitor to a unique download pages,
   dependent on which easy signup they completed. (since I dont see the capability
   of sending unique confirmation emails dependent on the topic they where interested
   in).
 * great plugin and thanks again for your assistance.

 * This should do it:
 * [easy_sign_up title=”SIGN UP FOR WEIGHT LOSS UPDATES” fnln=”1″ phone=”0″ esu_label
   =”WEIGHT LOSS” esu_class=”my-class-name” esu_r_url=”greaterbostonhypnosis.com/
   positive-change/”]

 * Hi GreenWeb
 * I now understand what you were telling me.. the code when entered with the visual
   page gets translated to the mess as posted in my previous post.
 * I have Pasted the shortcode with TEXT editing (NOT the pasting in the visual 
   editor) and the shortcode WORKs flawlessly !!!!
 * Thanks for your help
