Redirect to a page immediately after registration

  • Hi, I would like to redirect to a page immediately after registration.

    I have used both the “register + redirect” and “register + redirect + content” shortcodes on the form but the user is always prompted to enter their username and password again before being able to see the content.

    I would like the following to happen:
    1. User registers
    2. User is immediately redirected to content page without having to login again.

    How can I achieve this?

    Thanks!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I think you have redirect confused with automatically logging a user in. The redirect redirects a user to a specific page – it does not log them in.

    Registration and login are not the same process, so it’s not that the user is being asked to log in again – they weren’t logged in to begin with.

    The plugin doesn’t natively log users in as part of registration. However, there is a tutorial for premium support subscribers that describes how to implement this as a custom code snippet.

    Ah that makes sense. So I should then redirect them to a log in page, which then redirects them to the signed in page?

    Thanks I’ll have a look at the premium option too. I’ve just started playing with the plugin but hopefully it works out!

    You actually don’t have to create any redirects – the plugin will handle that automatically. Only use a redirect if you have a specific page you want to direct users to following a specific action.

    The default action of the plugins will post the forms to the page they are on. And the registration success result will include the login form. So I’d start with just the defaults – only add to that if you have a specific reason.

    Hope that helps.

    I’d love to have you as a subscriber! But if not, that’s OK too. If you have any questions about support options, just let me know. The plugin has lots of flexibility and premium support is the best way to learn how to take advantage of that.

    Hi Chad, thanks for this. I have a few questions:

    1. What do these options do – “registration + logged in content” and “registration + redirect + content”?

    2. Is there a way to remove the title text above the forms eg. “New User Registration”, “Existing Users Log In”?

    3. I would like the registration process to go like this:
    a) Visitor registers at https://fairinachengjewellery.com/membership-join/
    b) Visitor is redirected to https://fairinachengjewellery.com/membership-login/

    Step A is working. However upon registration I am directed to page B which is blocked as if it’s protected content. How do I ensure that page B isn’t protected (it seems to be fine if you just visit the URL).

    Thanks
