I am having the strangest error on my site. The normal wp-admin log in page works fine, but the one that is linked to on the sales page to “Member’s home”, with the ?redirect_to=http://site.com/members is giving a
“503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.”

I logged in and can access the dashboard fine. I can also access the /members page no problem when clicking there after logged in, but the redirect is giving this error. Any thoughts? At the moment, I have to give a clunky work around to anyone who wants to log in to access their content.

Don’t know what could be causing it. I know it’s not an s2Member error…

Have you checked with your webhost?

Just got back from the webhost. Their suggestion is to change the redirect link to

wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fspeakfromday1.com%2Fmembers

with the characters %3A %2F

I’m not sure why this works and using slashes and a colon doesn’t. So, quick question (since it’s been so long since I initially set up the site) – where can I make this change?

Hello?? Can someone please help me with this?
I just need to know where I can make the link change. I’ve had this dead link on my homepage for ages now :(

Sorry, I missed the previous reply.

The reason why that may work over the other could be a server configuration thing, maybe for security reasons. The one they suggested has the variable’s value URL encoded. http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/

I see the Member’s Home link is in the footer. I’m not sure if it’s in your theme’s options or you used a widget.

Yes, you are right, it’s a theme thing. Sorry I presumed it was part of s2member in some way. Fixed it!

Thanks as always!
