    Hi,

    I want to direct my users to a custom landing page after they register their account for the first time, and I selected the page I want to use in the settings, but it will not work. It just stays on the same registration form page. The other redirects seem to be working OK. After logging in, it goes to the account page that I want it to. I’ve tried changing it to another page, disabling it, etc. but I can’t seem to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Hello,

    You have a lot of plugins installed, and one of these may very well be overriding the settings of UsersWP. You can try disabling them.

    You can also try this snippet here:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/redirecting-the-login-page/

    You can add snippets using the Code Snippets plugin.

    Unfortunately, the code snippet didn’t fix the issue. It still stays on the registration page. Any idea what could be affecting only the registration page and not the other pages?

    I think I figured out the issue. It appears that in the code, it is set up to ignore the custom redirect page if “Require Email Activation” is selected. I tried to add what I thought would be the right code to change that, but I couldn’t get it to work. I’m hoping for you it’s a very quick change to make.

    Here’s why I want to do this: the text included by default is generally fine, but I have a lot of users who aren’t very tech savvy, so I created the custom redirect page to give them more in-depth information about where to find the Promotions tab in Gmail and stuff like that (eventually I’ll have screenshots, etc.).

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Tiffany,

    When registration action set to “Require Email Activation”, it will show the message above form regarding checking email for the activation link. It will not redirect to any page otherwise the user will not be able to see the message. So currently with this registration action, it is not possible to redirect the user to any other page after successful registration. It will show message only.

    Regards,
    Patrik

    But your message doesn’t give them enough information. Please make it so I can redirect. It should be a very simple change for you to do or to tell me how to do. I’m even fine with not redirecting for a second or two so they can see your message first. Please, please, please help me with this!

    Hi Tiffany,

    I have made a minor change in the core file of plugin usersWP to redirect users to the landing page. Please review it and let me know if it works for you.

    It is not possible without modifying the core file of usersWP. So I have made changes in file userswp->includes->class-forms.php on line no. 55. You have to make that change again whenever you update the plugin. Let me know if you need more information.

    Regards,
    Patrik

    It worked–thank you so much! I knew it had to be a simple change, I just couldn’t quite figure it out. I don’t mind updating the line of code as needed. Thank you again!
