Have you tried the Members Only plugin? I’m using it, and it works fine with v2.5.1.

A plugin that allows you to make your WordPress blog only viewable to users that are logged in. If a visitor is not logged in, they will be redirected either to the WordPress login page or a page of your choice. Once logged in they can be redirected back to the page that they originally requested. You can also protect your Feeds whilst allowing registered user access to them by using Feed Keys.

Sorry for so many posts, but I’ve done a bit more testing, and here are the results, using the settings in my previous post:

User goes to https://www.mydomain.tld/ to access the site, and is redirected to the login page with the url https://www.mydomain.tld/wp-login.php?redirect_to=/. They log in, and are sent to the main page of the site.

Same user logs out from a link on the site (https://www.mydomain.tld/wp-login.php?action=logout)and is sent back to the login page with a url of https://www.mydomain.tld/wp-login.php?loggedout=true. They then decide to log back in using the form on that page, and then they are sent to their profile page, not the site. They have to click the Visit Site link in order to get to the website under this scenario.

Not sure what, if anything, can be done, but all suggestions are welcome. ??

Okay, I changed a couple of settings. First, I resaved my permalink structure, then I went to the Members Only settings page and checked the box next to Return User. I left the other settings the same.

When I use the link https://www.domain.tld/ to access the site, I am redirected to the login page with the url https://www.domain.tld/wp-login.php?redirect_to=/ (notice there is no index.php in that url). I log in, and am now sent to the main page of the site, not the profile page.

I’ll add a separate link so people can update their profiles if they need to.

I think my issue may be resolved now (*crossing fingers*), but will let you know if it crops up again.

Hami –

I am having the same issue. I have Members Only 0.6.5 installed, along with the latest versions of Register Plus and WP User Moderation in order to control access to my site. Whenever anyone logs in, they are redirected to their profile page (I’ve hidden the dashboard from them) and have to click the Visit Site link in order to get to the website.

On the settings page for Members Only, I have the following:

Redirect To: Login Page
Return User: unchecked
Redirection Page: https://www.mydomain.tld/index.php

WordPress is installed in the root folder, and I am using fancy permalinks.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
