The trouble is that when I did the update to wordpress 2.6, this trick no longer works for me. It still directs subscribers to their profile/dashboard.
Bingo, login seems to have changed and I can’t figure out how to fix a login redirect for a basic subscriber to go back to the frontpage instead of seeing that awful dashboard. God, I hate that thing.
It’s particularly annoying that this is the only thing standing between my site going live and sitting dormant. /ugh
