Login Welcome Page problem

I have the following URL in my Special Redirection URL:

http://www.marketletters.com/blog

See screenshot of it below:

It still redirects me to my Home page when I want it to be the Blog page. What is going wrong?

Please see: Video » s2Member (Login Welcome Page Conflicts?).

Please try these, particularly the theme and plugins ones: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips.

I watched the video and the bug mentioned there is for firefox. I am using Chrome…what else do you suggest?

In Google Chrome there is a very similar developer toolset built in to the browser. Just press f12.

The [hilite mono]redirect_to[/hilite] variable explained in the Login Welcome Page Conflicts video, is independent of the browser used.

The tool suggested, Firebug, is a Firefox add-on, but I think is also available for Chrome. https://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/chrome/

And there are other tools you can try for this, but even just viewing the source code of the page (possible in any browser) and looking for the login form, you’d see the input fields it has.

Hi – I’ve downloaded firefox, installed firebug and tried to perform the deletion of the code that is at fault.

Take a look at the following code – there is nothing that is being redirected to it seems.

Any suggestions?

You can try logging in to my site by clicking on the grey login button at http://www.marketletters.com/blog – this is where I want people to land after they’ve logged in.

Thanks

Thank you for the information.

I took a look at your site, and it appears that the actual link that’s in your theme is what’s causing this. This is the link:

http://marketletters.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://marketletters.com

As you can see, it’s passing the redirect_to variable as your homepage. This will need to be taken out or changed to your Login Welcome Page to work correctly. If you use this link, it works correctly:

http://marketletters.com/wp-login.php

Sorry to sound a little daft, but how would I go about changing the redirect_to variable?

You’ll need to change the URL your theme is linking to.

and how do i do that?

and how do i do that?

That depends on your theme. I’m guessing this is something that’s built-in to your theme, or is a widget. I’d check your Widgets first and see if those buttons are created there. If they are you should be able to change the URL that way. Otherwise you’ll need to edit your theme’s files. I’d guess that those buttons are created in your sidebar.php file.

Am I in the right place here?:

What would I change that line of code to read?

you’ll want to change this line:

wp_redirect(site_url('/wp-login.php?redirect_to' . site_url())); ?>

To:

wp_redirect(site_url('/wp-login.php')); ?>

That might not fix your issue, but that’s an incorrect link somewhere. If that doesn’t work you’ll want to check your sidebar.php file.

That seemed to fix it. For the registration page, same problem – here is the code:

wp_redirect(site_url(‘/wp-login.php?action=register&redirect_to=’ . site_url())); ?>

change that to what?

wp_redirect(site_url('/wp-login.php?action=register')); ?>

I’ve played around with the code but kept the original code, which is now not working either!

– you’ll see the error when you go to marketletters.com/register

Please help!

Thanks for giving code line you suggest but its now giving this error:

Syntax or parse error

Sorry, one of the quotes from my reply got formatted by our system and it made it invalid. I edited the code in my reply.

Now my registration page doesn’t work at all and I have left the original code as it was.

See the error msg when you click on the Register for free button on the following page http://www.marketletters.com/ blog

Urgent what could have happened?!

This is the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/tanswu/public_html/marketletters.com/wp-content/themes/striking-child/template-registration.php on line 10

This is a PHP parse error. It says it’s in your template-registration file on line 10, which I believe you probably edited. Can you paste the code that you have on this line?

Here is a screenshot of the code:

It’s because of the quotes. You need to replace your quotes with single quotes, or just replace it with this:

wp_redirect(site_url('/wp-login.php?action=register')); ?>

ok I think that’s fixed it. THANKYOU.
