How Do I Redirect Users After They Login

Posted by Asuka_Aki | Posted in Wordpress | Posted on 16-09-2008 |

Another little discovery I made snooping around. When registered users login WordPress automatically redirects users to the dashboard. Depending on the privileges set they can or can not write and edit stuff…

What If I only want users to register so they can access my free themes? I don’t need theme to go to my dashboard. Some visitors don’t event know about blogs and WordPress, so they wonder what to do next.

I found an interesting article that explained how to edit the wp-login.php document. The problem was that the article was posted in 2005. So I gave it a look anyways. I downloaded a copy via FTP and opened it with an editor.

It is almost the same except you need to search for: ‘/wp-admin/profile.php’ and change it to ‘/index.php/’ like the example shows below…

Save and upload the wp-login.php document and when users log in they should be redirected to your index page instead.
