Redirect from email link after Login

Hi,

every Monday I send an Email via Mailchimp to my customers. The link in this email sends them to a lecture in my membership area. If they are logged in, everything works fine, but if not, and they have to login first, they are sent back to the homepage instead of the lecture.

Is this a s2members issue? What can I do?

Thanks in advance
Daniel

Thank you for your inquiry.

If you are using s2Member Pro’s Pro Login Widget here, you can change your settings for the widget to automatically allow this to work properly. Simply change the Redirect After Login option to Previous page:

If you are using a custom login widget, or redirecting Users to /wp-login.php on your Membership Options Page, you’ll need to add support for Membership Options Variables to whatever form/link you’re using.

s2Member passes these variables specifically for developers to integrate this functionality with.

Thank you, but this is not it.

If I send lessons in email like http://mydomain.com/your-lesson-no-1/, I just want WP or s2member to open http://mydomain.com/your-lesson-no-1/ if the user was logged out. I don’t have a special login page with widgets. I just want that page /your-lesson-no-1/ open, after /wp-login.php.

This is what the redirect_to variable that WordPress® accepts accomplishes. The s2Member Login Widget Passes this automatically, but if you’d like to integrate this behavior without the s2Member Login Widget you will need to create a custom login form to handle this.
