WP_List_Table redirecting after action

Hello guys,

I’m having a little problem with WP_List_Table. I’ve been searching quite everywhere but seems to not find a good answer or I might be missing something.

So here is the deal, I have a child class of wp_list_table that I use to display data from a table in the database. Everything’s fine till there. I added actions on one of the column (view and delete) and added some views (unread, all). My problem is when I execute an action, let’s say delete for example, the link of the delete button is something like http://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mypage&action=delete&file=file_id and it takes me to that link (which is the same page but with argument added) and this triggers the action delete the file. The problem is, when I change view for example or go to the next page, wp_list_table (or at least my code) is just adding new arguments to the actual link which is “http://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mypage&action=delete&file=file_id” and become “http://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mypage&action=delete&file=file_id&customvar=unread” in case on view changing and that triggers an error because it is calling the delete action again on the files that no longer exist and I really don’t know how to get rid of this. Tried redirecting with wp_redirect but it send error “headers already sent” and I’m really lost right now if you guys could help me out with this.

Thank you in advance guys
