Login Redirect to Home not Forum

I have exhausted my search and testing for the resolution on this, hopefully, simple issue.  I do need your help.

Issue: 

Upon Forum Login it redirects to the “Home” page.  Even though I have the [ Components > Login/Registration >Login/Registration Redireects > Login Redirect ]   set to: proper URL  http://www.nonprofit-software.co/resources/forums/

Testing/Variables:

  • Upon Forum Registration it respects the setting and sends it to the proper URL:  http://www.nonprofit-software.co/nonprofit-forum/forum-registration/
  • I have tried a different Login redirect URL and it still sends to the Home page.
  • I have triple checked the WishList setting, not conflicts
  • There are no other Redirect Plugins
  • Here is the thread from the last closed post:  https://simple-press.com/support-forum/sp5-general-topics/login-redirect/
  • Forum Page:  http://www.nonprofit-software.co/resources/forums/
    • User Name and Password for a Forum level login:    Forum    !2Forum2!
  • I can PM you your Admin Access if that helps

I look forward to helping find the solution to this simple but frustrating hurdle.

Sincerely,

Joe Johnson

Toggled On or Toggled Off  has no affect  on the Re-Direct.   Still goes to the Home Page.

I dont know… works fine for me…  when I log in via the inline login form in the forum with the credentials you give me, I am redirected to the forum page…

Your last reply caused me to test the following and derive the following questions which hopefully will shed light on this.  

Test:

  • Admins are properly redirected to the “Forum” page.
    • I created your SimplePress  “Admin” level access using  WordPress “Users >> Add New” and then assigned you to the “Administrator” Role.  This I created in wordpress and sent to you.  I did not “Register” you thru the Forum and elevate you from subscriber to Administrator
  • Members (Subscribers) are redirected to the “Home” page.
    • These are created from “Forum” page  “Register Button”
    • When created and I check the wordpress “User Role”,  it is “Subscriber”
    • Here is a sample Forum Member user access [ Login Name:  Forum   PW:  !2Forum2!  ] so that you can see the Home page redirect at the Subscriber Role

Questions:

  • Is there need to create a “new user role” in wordpress to accommodate a new registrant (as a member) ?   Does this have bearing in the improper redirect ?
  • On the install there was a “Slug” issue and you changed the slug from “Forum”  to  “Forums”  and this corrected the Forum page presentation issues.  Does this have any possible bearing on the issue ?

I appreciate your persistence and patience in chasing down this problem.

Sincerely,

I still suspect wishlist then…  please change its redirect for login to the forum page…  simple press does not do any redirection differently for sp admins or not…   if you had block admin enabled,which I verified you do not, then it could be different based on wp role…

on forum – options – member settings, you control where the default wp role (wp specified the wp role new users get) maps to an sp usergroup…  but has not bearing on login redirects…

wp page slug also has no bearing on redirect… assuming you have the correct one, ie forums, listed in forum – components – login and registration…
