How to force page refreshes or reloads in jQuery?
You don't need jQuery to do this. Embrace the power of JavaScript.
window.location.reload()
Replace that line with:
$("#someElement").click(function() { window.location.href = window.location.href;});
or:
$("#someElement").click(function() { window.location.reload();});
Or better
window.location.assign("relative or absolute address");
that tends to work best across all browsers and mobile
