Redirecting to the dashboard on login?

You see, I can’t even get it to insert a link correctly!!

emphasis mine.

This – isnt wordpress, its bbpress, and it works just fine making links… there goes 3 now.

If it irritates you to deal with morons like me, then I suggest you are in the wrong forum.

Otto can defend himself, but I HAVE to jump in. Nowhere in this thread did Otto say he was irritated, and nowhere in this thread were you called a moron, or treated like one. Dont “put words in people’s mouths” (or fingers); it’s a very weak tactic when used online, since we can all go back and read exactly what was said.

Ive just deleted about 10 paragraphs of stuff..

why fucking bother.. dime a dozen.

This is not software, it is a design tool for developers and to suggest you can have a blog “up and running in 5 minutes” is complete garbage.

I can have a blog up in less than 5 minutes. Honestly, put yourself out of your misery, and go use wordpress.com or blogger. Do us ALL a favor.

Trust me, you don’t HAVE to do anything.

I didn’t say “it” was WP, nor that it couldn’t make links correctly, I simply said I couldn’t get it to do so.

I used the word moron to describe myself and people of my level of ability. I did not state or imply that Otto had.

In my opinion (I believe I’m still entitled to that) Otto has demonstrated irritation in his replies, particulalry to Jill in the other thread. Not wishing to put words in her mouth, I believe she thought so too, given one of her replies.

Indeed we can all go back and read what was said, I suggest you do so more carefully from now on.

Perhaps it might be better all round if you leave others to speak for themselves in the future.

I can agree with your assessment. I went back and read the few threads youve started here. What struck me most was your pasting of login credentials — a username and password, to a public forum, here.

I think I can count on one hand the number of times Ive seen that done around here (going back nearly 4 years). Most of the folks around here recognize that that isn’t indicative of being the brightest bulb in the box.

That sort of falls under the “common-sense” heading.

wordpress.com is calling your name.

Enough, kids. I had to delete several responses here. Relax, ya’ll.

Don’t mistake terseness for irritation. It takes a lot more than these forums to get me irritated. ??

Also, remember that TEXT is a rather non-emotionally-expressive medium. Any irritation you read is most likely you reading it, not me writing it. And trust me, when I’m irritated, I’m quite capable of making it very, very clear. ??

If you take a look at my posts, you will see that not a single one is about modifying anything – they are all about problems with things not working, like inserting an image and writing a post.

In this very thread, you basically asked how to change WordPress to redirect to the blog on login, instead of to the dashboard. That is modification. Okay, so it’s a modification that makes very little sense, but still…

The reality is that a tiny number of people who use the web every day…

Define “use the web”. Because running a website is more than merely web-surfing.

If you want to run a website, then WordPress is a good package to use. Like any software, it’s not perfect, but it works well enough.

If you just want to write for a blog, then perhaps you should use an alternate service. Like I pointed out, https://wordpress.com is a good choice. Mainly because (unlike other services) you keep full control of your content, and exporting from there to a self-hosted WordPress install later is entirely possible.

Now if you try to stop defending for a moment and start listening, you will see that the problem here is that people’s expectation of WordPress is too high and the WordPress site should make it clearer what level of knowledge is required to install and run a website.

I’m not defending anything, I’m simply disagreeing with you. I think that the average webmaster, or even the beginner webmaster, could use WordPress and use it well. No, my mom could not use it, but then my mom could not run her own website with any sort of software.

As you say, “enough”.

Hi people, fairly uninspiring thread as I am looking to do the same thing as Orchard_lincs. Well nearly the same, I want to redirect the user on registration to the website. I have the login redirect working fine.

I can see why one would not advise needing users to register, but at times I think it would be worthwhile, enter in games, submit reviews is my main focus for this.

Actually thinking about it, I have this set up and working in page, so once registered its all good. But im still using the full login page for registration/lost password etc and on that page (wp-login.php) i dont have the redirect set up, and its far more confusing to decipher than the simple on page login/redirect i have working in content.

Is this extremely unclear? -)

I was under the impression having them subscribe would give me the opportunity to have them receive an email messagae when I post something new? Is that incorrect?

Nor tried it myself yet (I’m about to), but this plugin should help… at least a little… assuming you’re using 2.6.2 or above.

I see this helpful info from Kissie. Does this help so that the customer doesn’t get redirected to the dashboard? They expect to be redirected back to the main blog site…and as the owner of the blog that is what I’d like to happen too. Will they get an email when I post soemthing new?

This is ridiculous. My dashboard is suppose to open when i log in it doesn’t. Why?

I can’t even find the log in page. What freek is the address?
