Because if every esoteric option was in the administrative control panel we’d need a 3-monitor system and a gig of server space to host the admin pages :).

I’m not so sure I agree that this is an esoteric option. I definately agree that every option can’t be catered to, but at the very least an option between “redirect to last page” or “redirect to profile page” should exist. The majority of times someone logs into a site they are not going to be modifying their profile settings, but rather accessing content they have access to as a registered user.

Anyway, that aside, I’m modifying the first $redirect_to assignment under the default: case – the rest I’ve left alone.

More self discovery – obviously making the changes to $redirect_to only effects the LOGIN redirection, and does nothing to the logout. So I’ve had to change the header redirect value under the case:logout section as well. Unfortunately, I’m still having issues with regular users being appropriately redirected, only the admin account is being redirected appropriately.

OK so I’ve noticed that if I change $redirect_to in wp-login.php I can SORT OF control where users are sent upon login. However, it only seems like my admin login is using that value, whereas users I have added after setting up the site are being redirected to the profile page. Any ideas what is happening?
