Redirect After Login

    Hello,

    Great plugin, after reading all of the help threads I finally got the access permissions that I want.

    I have 3 Access Levels set up.

    Not logged in – allows the custom login/signup page, a contact page, and a password reset page, do not extend, synchronized role to Not Logged in.

    Administrator – Using the 404 page negate condition, extending Not logged in, synchronized role to Administrator, redirect to custom login/sign up page.

    Customer – I’m not sure if I need this one… I have it extending not logged in, synchronized to customer (default role) and the conditions are Posts OR Pages OR Products OR Shipping Classes OR Dates. The goal being to allow a logged in customer to use all WooCommerce functionality and place orders.

    If I try to access the login / sign up custom page, the contact page, or the forgot password page while not logged in, it works 100%.

    If I try to access any other page while not logged in, it redirects me to the login / sign up page, and the URL contains “redirect_to=XXXXX” for the URL I tried to originally access.

    What I would expect is that once I’ve logged in, I should be Redirected to the page I came in on.

    This is not what happens. What happens is I am back at the same custom login / sign up page, but now I’m logged in. I can manually change the URL to a shop / store / other page that I only want people to see if they’re logged in, and it *WORKS*, and displays those pages.

    What it’s not doing is redirecting to the original referrer once logged in.

    I’m struggling to figure out from the available documentation if it’s supposed to do this, or if I’m expecting something it will never do. Any ideas?

    This is a great, powerful plugin, I hope to be able to use it! Thank you!

    Thanks for your kind words, I know that the documentation is lacking.

    You do need the Customer level, otherwise they would be able to see nothing. However, if you want users to be able to see everything when logged in, I suggest that you use the “404 page negate condition” on this level instead.
    Then you wouldn’t need the Administrator level, as admins have access to all content no matter what.

    It does sound like a bug if you are not redirected to another page when the “redirect_to” parameter is present. Does it happen no matter what page you came from? Is the [login-form] shortcode inserted in a normal page?
    And are you certain that the user has access to the page in the “redirect_to” parameter?

    Hi Joachim!

    Thanks for the response.

    Yes, I’m sure they have access, as I can manually navigate there and it allows viewing just fine.

    I think I narrowed the issue down, as I discovered using the login form was redirecting, but using a Facebook Connect login was not redirecting. What I did was wrote some jQuery to cover that condition, and got it to function, however it requires an extra page reload for jQuery to check.

    You can see it at https://www.bysarahann.com

    I’m using the WooCommerce account shortcode for the login, and I’m using a Gravity Form for the account creation, as it can run account creation and email list signup on the backend. Perhaps these are related.

    Either way, it seems that if the redirect_to is in the URL it *should* redirect if logged in… ??

    What do you think?

    It is great that you can use the plugins in combination. However, the problem is indeed that you use the WooCommerce login form, as it will not recognize the redirect_to parameter set by this plugin.

    Perhaps there is a hook/filter in the WooCommerce login form that you can use? Then it should be easy to make sure the user gets redirected according to the redirect_to parameter.
