Home Page Help

and I’m testing it with a “test subscriber”.

can you explain “test subscriber”

I just created a new “user” and login with one of my other email accts. As if it was a real subscriber. I figured it would be the best way to see the site as my family would see it (its going to be a family site), and a lot of them can get confused very easily. ??
thanks, Jim

Try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file…

/* redirect users to front page after login */
function redirect_to_front_page() {
global $redirect_to;
if (!isset($_GET['redirect_to'])) {
$redirect_to = get_option('siteurl');
}
}
add_action('login_form', 'redirect_to_front_page');

Thanks Tara, but I have to admit I’m not very knowledgeable when it come to PHP. I think I can find the theme’s function file, but is there a special place to put those lines, or can I put them anywhere?

Here is my function file:

anywhere

If you have not already done, consider creating a child theme

Also, make sure to backup copy of your template before making any changes, in case.
