This is what I use:

if (is_admin() && isset($_GET['activated'] ) && $pagenow == "themes.php" ) {
    //Call action that sets
    add_action('admin_head','ct_option_setup');
    //Do redirect
    header( 'Location: '.admin_url().'admin.php?page=options_panel.php' ) ;
}

I guess that code wil work on a custom admin page, but if you have a simple Theme Optioins page, the path url and php page is different.

In that case i use this in my functions.php:

function my_options_add_page() {
    add_theme_page( __( 'Theme Options' ), __( 'Theme Options' ), 'administrator', 'your-theme-options-page-slug', 'my_options_do_options');
}

function my_options_do_options(){

 // do the options page here....

}

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'my_options_add_page' );

if ($_GET['activated']){
    wp_redirect(admin_url("themes.php?page=your-theme-options-page-slug"));
}

So, once theme is actived, it redirects to the Appereance > Theme Options page, which acctualy is the my_options_do_options function. I don´t need to tell the IF if i´m on themes page, since the $_GET[‘activated’] is only used there. Also, i don´t need to tell that IF ´m administrator, since the add_theme_page is restricted for “administrator” level as you can see on code.

This is what I use:

if (is_admin() && isset($_GET['activated'] ) && $pagenow == "themes.php" ) {
    //Call action that sets
    add_action('admin_head','ct_option_setup');
    //Do redirect
    header( 'Location: '.admin_url().'admin.php?page=options_panel.php' ) ;
}

Where do you place this code? in the wp-includes/function.php file?

The above code worked me perfectly. Thanks rg

You don´t need to touch the wp includes, just in your theme/functions.php file.
