Change users login not to go to the dashboar

Well, yeah, and there a half dozen posts in the last couple weeks about that. Try searching for “redirect login”.

Thanks a lot. I’m newbie in wordpress and I didn’t find the correct keyword to search about my problem. Thanks!

Hope that helped; I couldn’t actually put my finger on a relevant post just then. Good luck….

Here is the solution:
Open the wp-login.php file and edit the next lines:

Line 28:
change this: $redirect_to = ‘wp-login.php’;
to: $redirect_to = ‘/’;

Line 170:
change this: $redirect_to = ‘wp-admin/’;
to: $redirect_to = ‘/’;

Whis this changes, when a user log in and log out will be redirected to the index.
Thanks

PD: I’m using WordPress 2.0.2 under Debian GNU/Linux

Okay, great…. a couple of caveats here though: your current version of wp has a couple of massive security holes – you really need to upgrade it NOW; and keep firmly in mind that the sort of edit you’re making to the redirect MUST BE DONE every time you upgrade wp.

“and keep firmly in mind that the sort of edit you’re making to the redirect MUST BE DONE every time you upgrade wp.”

Yes, I know that…

“you really need to upgrade it NOW”

I have a lot of configured files…OMG!! xDD
I will try to update to wp 2.0.5 right now.
Thanks!

Yeah…. I know, it’s a MAJOR PITA. But really, it does need to be done, and sooner rather than later is obviously better. I feel your pain….
