Customized Login Widget Re-direct

Hi there,

I really liked the way s2member implemented the login widget on this site, so I did the same on my own. It works great— except that it does not redirect to the Login welcome page on login, it just goes back to the root.

I’m hoping that you will see my error?

<div class="sublogin">
<div class="loginlink"><h4 id="s2memberlogin" title="Sign In" style="cursor:pointer;">
<?php 
if (is_user_logged_in()){  ?>
<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( home_url() ); ?>" title="Logout">Sign out</a>
<?php }
else { ?>
Sign In  <?php } ?>
<span id="expanderSign" style="display:none;"> +</span></div>
<div id="s2-login-box" style="display:none">
<div class="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget">
<form method="post" action="http://www.nowsayit.com/wp-login.php" class="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-form">
<div class="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-username">
<label for="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-username">Username:</label><br />
<input type="text" name="log" id="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-username" title="Username" />
</div>
<div class="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-password">
<label for="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-password">Password:</label><br />
<input type="password" name="pwd" id="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-password" title="Password" />
</div>
<div class="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-lost-password">
<a href="http://www.nowsayit.com/register" tabindex="-1">signup now</a> | <a href="http://www.nowsayit.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword" tabindex="-1">forgot password?</a>
</div>
<div class="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-remember-me">
<label><input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" value="forever" />Remember Me</label>
</div>
<div class="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-submit">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="/members" />
<input type="submit" value="Sign Me In" />
</div>
</form>
<div class="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-code">
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
</div></div>

Many Thanks!

Hi Scott,

WordPress already has a built-in feature for this. Just change the action=”” portion of your form to include the redirect_to argument:

<form method="post" action="http://www.nowsayit.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=/my-login-welcome-page" class="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-form">
