towhid I was having some issues figuring out how to do redirects based on post_type. Here's a nifty snippet that you can use to get more control over redirects. I also included a way to find a related post from a custom meta field. 
//Redirect WPUF Version: 2.2.6
function wpuf_force_redirection($response, $post_id) {
 
        $post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
       
        if($post_type == 'type1'){
   
        //get parent post
        $parent_id = get_post_meta($post_id, 'related_id', true);
       
        //If parent found, update $response
        if ($related_id) {
                //Update Response Vars
                $response['redirect_to'] = get_permalink($related_id);
        }
       
    }elseif($post_type == 'type2'){
   
        //Update response to new post url
        $response['redirect_to'] = get_permalink($post_id);
       
    }
    return $response;
}
add_filter('wpuf_add_post_redirect', 'wpuf_force_redirection', 10, 2); //10: priority, 2: accepted vars
add_filter('wpuf_update_post_redirect', 'wpuf_force_redirection', 10, 2);

Hello Dan,

Would you please let me know where you want to actually implement this code? Have you tried this code for you ? Are you getting any error?

Thank you 🙂

I was thinking you could add this to the documentation. There are examples for the other filters, but not redirection. You could add this as an example to help out users.

There was a typo, here is the fixed version:

//Redirect WPUF Version: 2.2.6
function wpuf_force_redirection($response, $post_id) {
 
        $post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
       
        if($post_type == 'type1'){
   
        //get parent post
        $related_id = get_post_meta($post_id, 'related_id', true);
       
        //If parent found, update $response
        if ($related_id) {
                //Update Response Vars
                $response['redirect_to'] = get_permalink($related_id);
        }
       
    }elseif($post_type == 'type2'){
   
        //Update response to new post url
        $response['redirect_to'] = get_permalink($post_id);
       
    }
    return $response;
}
add_filter('wpuf_add_post_redirect', 'wpuf_force_redirection', 10, 2); //10: priority, 2: accepted vars
add_filter('wpuf_update_post_redirect', 'wpuf_force_redirection', 10, 2);
