Changing default page after login

    I searched for quite a while for a solution and found something close but very old for version 2.x and not really on point.

    I am using Theme P2. It’s the closest thing I have found to creating an old fashioned BBS type look and feel with all of the new bells and whistles of uploading media, etc.

    I set up my themed pages with the various theme settings. But a weird thing happens.

    If I launch the website at the root (https://localhost/wordpress), I see the page as I customized it with hot links Login and Register on the right panel. When I login, I go to a dashboard page at https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/edit.php and none of the customization is there. When I hit my logo on the upper corner of the screen OR just modify my URL to https://localhost/wordpress I am at the customized page where I want to be.

    Ideally, I would like a user to login or register and be put right back at the page from which he/she launched the login (or register) routine.

    Like I said, there was a php fix for version 2 that would do this, but no instructions on how to install it or how it works.

    PART 2: is there a way to go into some file and just change (hard code) values for cerrtain PHP global variables? Like $This_var = ‘My Name’

    I did finally find a solution. Once I got the nerve to edit one of the php files, I simply replaced “wp-admin” with “index.php” a the $redirect value after a successful login when it checks to see if the use has posting capability. If no, it sends to profile. If yes, it now sends to the main posting page where I want themt o be.
