Redirect not working for me | Peter's Login Redirect | Forum
Back to the login redirect plugin page
11:17 am
Seems like an awesome plugin but I can't get it to work for me.
Here's my situation (as posted on Wordpress forum)…
I have created a membership site so that anyone who registers can login on the sidebar (Plugins – SimpleLogin).
I don't give them any access to the wordpress backend (no dashboard).
What I want is for a user to login and after log in, in the sidebar there is a link to a specific page for that specific user that only I can update/control.
Example:
User logs in.
User clicks on link that says 'My Profile' and brings them to a page that I created for them. (I have to be able to update that page on a daily basis to dsiplay any kind of information not just profile info.)

I posted the above on the Wordpress forum and they suggested your plugin. I downloaded and activated your plugin and tried setting up a redirect to a basic public page on my site. When I logged in with the username it was set up for, there was no redirect and just stayed on the same page as before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

Unless I'm doing something wrong... all I did after I installed the plugin...
I went to Settings > Login Redirects
Under 'Specific Users' I selected a username and put an existing URL in the site
Then I clicked Update
I log out on my home page of the site, go to my sidebar and log in as the selected username from above, and there's no redirect. Page refreshes but I'm still on the home page.
:cry:
I just took a look at SimpleLogin. Unfortunately it seems like that plugin is the cause of the issue, because it bypasses the normal wp-login.php page, instead posting login requests to its own login processor. You could ask that plugin author to include the "login_redirect" hook that first appeared in WordPress 2.6.2.
Sorry, I'm not knowledgeable in the available plugins in that area. However, the wordpress.org forums are probably a great help there. You could also try writing your own (see http://www.theblog.ca/wplogin-.....ment-11089) for some suggestions). Good luck!
