Subscribers default login page

    I’m just testing our WP residents blog. Most of the registered users will only be able to post comments (so the dafault role will be that of Subscribers). I created a test user and when I type the website address and click to log in the user is taken to their dashboard/profile. While this behaviour is good for authors, etc. many of our users are not very computer oriented and it might be confusing for them.

    What I would like to do:
    1. a subscriber user types the website address
    2. He/she clicks ‘log in’
    3. He/she gets logged in and stays on the main page of the actual website (not gets redirected to the dashboard/profile)

    How can I do it?
    Thanks for your help.

    Please don’t bump. It’s not permitted.

    All of that is easy if you make an in-line login form. Search for ‘WordPress Login Form’ on Google and there are a lot of options.

    Thanks a lot. Sorry for the bump – but if I hadn’t done it, I’d still be running in circles searching for wrong keywords:) Just joking. I’m not going to bump again.

    *grin* It’s all good, knowing the keywords are half the battle. Did that solve your problem?

    I think I spend about 75% of my time cleaning things up to keep the forum ‘flow’ better. (The reason we don’t do bumps is that we have a ‘no replies’ view which we use to see who has NOT had someone try to help them out yet!)

    Yes, it has solved the problem. Thank you again.
