I use this plugin with wp3.7.
You can redirect the user to the public page editing the file functions.php in your theme.
add:
add_filter("login_redirect", "gkp_subscriber_login_redirect", 10, 3);
function gkp_subscriber_login_redirect($redirect_to, $request, $user) {
if(is_array($user->roles))
if(in_array('administrator', $user->roles)) return site_url('/wp-admin/');
return home_url();
}
Pay attention to the kind of the user you are when you test; admin will allways be redirected to the admin page and regular users will be redirected to the public page.
