Hi,
I am trying to resolve an error.
If a user hits the "Back" button after submitting a form, the user gets a "Confirm Form Resubmission" http://screencast.com/t/GB7E5wIC4Qxw.
This page discusses this but doesn't reach a conclusion:

Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
You have combined two different things. We've allowed the option to redirect a user after submission into Gravity Forms which is different than the back button issue. We can't do anything about a user hitting back on their browser. This is an issue almost as old as the web itself. On any form, after you submitted, if you hit back, you'll get this message. Not just on Gravity Forms.

Hi David,
I agree with you about this being as old as the web (and a very low probability issue).
My understanding is that they are related in this way:
If the code described on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5182966/right-way-to-redirect-after-form-submit is added to a form submission action, it will prevent the redirect message from appearing when someone hits the back button.
Thanks,

Yeah, basically they insert an "extra" page/redirect so that going back doesn't go back to the form submitted page, thus getting rid of the error. You could do this as well by redirecting to a page using Gravity Forms, and then redirecting again using WordPress. It'll make things more complex for you, but you can do this.
In Form Settings under Confirmation you can redirect to another page or URL.
