Redirect user after editing a post with the WordPress Front-end Editor plugin

I'm trying to redirect the user after they've edited a post using the WordPress Front-end Editor plugin:

Plugin repository http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-front-end-editor/

GitHub https://github.com/avryl/wp-front-end-editor

I thought about using the save_post hook: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post

function redirect_after_edit(){
    wp_redirect( home_url() );
    exit;
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'redirect_after_edit' );

Although this redirect works when editing a post via the back-end, it doesn't work when using WordPress Front-end Editor to edit a post.

Any idea how I can redirect the user after they've successfully edited a post using WordPress Front-end Editor?

save_post is called when editing from the front end editor. There's something else going on here. Are the headers already sent at this point? if so, then you can't perform a header() call in php. turn on the error reporting. – Ohgodwhy
I notice there is no page refresh on submitting an edit. Could AJAX have some role in this? – henrywright
No. because your plugin registered with WP AJAX and that data is sent to a controller function that then calls do_($action, $arg1, $arg2) and performs the get/save based on the data that that was received form the ajax object. – Ohgodwhy
Right. In that case I can't understand why save_post isn't firing the redirect? Got Firebug on and no errors seem to be thrown. – henrywright
As i advised you previously, you can't perform a header redirect if the headers have already been sent. Go to your wp-config file, then find WP_DEBUG and set it to true, then reload the page. If you get, "warning: headers already sent`, then you have identified your problem. – Ohgodwhy

… Since the plugin uses AJAX to update the post, redirecting the page on save_post will only alter the response. Take a look at the XHRs. It will have the page's HTML. Use redirect_post_location to redirect after saving.
