Redirect to email confirmation page

I am using the free version and would like to have the user after registering directed to a page which notifies him/her that they need to check their email for their user name and password.

I looked on the forum and but cannot find the answer.

Is this possible with S2 member?

I love this plugin!!!

Many thanks,

James

I’m sure there are other options, but this one should work and I love playing with the hooks and filters… lol!

My suggestion would be to add a function to the user_register hook. Something like this should work (not tested)

1. Create a new file (if you don’t have one) in wp-content/mu-plugins/ called s2-hacks.php. You may also need to create the mu-plugins directory.

2. add this to that new s2-hacks.php file:

function dw_reg_confirm($user_id){
	//This is the url of the page you want to show after registration.
	$confirm_page = 'http://yoursite.com/confirm-page';
	
	wp_redirect($confirm_page);
}

add_action('user_register', 'dw_reg_confirm');
//s2member might prefer add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_after_register', 'dw_reg_confirm');

3. Again, I’ve not tested this fully so let me know if you have any issues.

4. You can also do other things with the content of that page by using the $user_id that is passed from wordpress. If you want to see all the variables s2member sends to their action hook, then change $user_id to $vars=array() and before the “}” add die(print_r($vars)); .

May not be the best option but I hope that helps,
Dave

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply I get really lost with php. I have created the folder and added the file with my success page. I get this error:

function dw_reg_confirm($user_id){ //This is the url of the page you want to show after registration. $confirm_page = ‘http://sagewebmarketing.co.uk/confirm-page.html’; wp_redirect($confirm_page); } add_action(‘user_register’, ‘dw_reg_confirm’); //s2member might prefer add_action(‘ws_plugin__s2member_after_register’, ‘dw_reg_confirm’);

I have also tried changing to add_action(‘ws_plugin__s2member_after_register’, ‘dw_reg_confirm’);

but get this error

function dw_reg_confirm($user_id){ //This is the url of the page you want to show after registration. $confirm_page = ‘http://sagewebmarketing.co.uk/confirm-page.html’; wp_redirect($confirm_page); } add_action(‘ws_plugin__s2member_after_register’, ‘dw_reg_confirm’);

Ok problem solved. I paid someone on odesk to do this for me. Thanks for your help..

Sorry about that. What was the issue?

Dave

EDIT: I had another user with the same issue. I forget to tell people to start and end their php with the php tags. That’s probably why it was printing out instead of running.
