After Login, user not returned to restricted page

Yes, Can somebody help us with this issue? When user is logging in i want him to be redirected to the same page. Can it be done?

Yes i have a patch.

This is the patched file, based on version 2.2.6. Please compare with original file to see the differences.

pagerestrict.php.txt

I had a closer look, and essentially it is only the following addition at the end of the pagrestrict.php file that does the trick:

// The redirect from the login form fails sometimes.
// We save the target page url in a transient, and redirect very late (at action 'template_redirect') if we are not on the target page
function pr_save_url() {
	
	$url = ( is_ssl() ? 'https://' : 'https://' ) . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	
	set_transient( 'pr_' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $url, 300 );
}

// After any other redirect (i hope)
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'pr_redirect' );

function pr_redirect() {

	$url = get_transient( 'pr_' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] );
	
	if ( $url ) {
		
		// Housekeeping
		delete_transient( 'pr_' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] );
		
		// Only if login succeeded
		if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
			
			$cur = ( is_ssl() ? 'https://' : 'https://' ) . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
			if ( $url != $cur ) {
				wp_redirect( $url );
				exit();
			}
		}
	}
}

The other changes i made are only to make it more readable and i use function

wp_login_form( array( 'echo' => false, 'value_username' => $user_login ) )

I left the 'redirect' => $any_url out, because it does not work like it does not work in the original login form.
So, essentially it looks like a wp bug to me…

Just add my additional code.

Correction

Just add my additional code.

and 2 calls to pr_save_url()

Jacob,

You mention that you added 2 calls to pr_save_url(). Where did you add these to your solution?

I’m having the same issue on a site and could use the help! Thank you in advance!
