I have been using it for several months and it has worked great.

However, I am now trying to have it redirected to a custom page that is needing the $current_id global variable. This works fine in IE but not in Safari, FireFox or Chrome.

After messing with the php code on my pages for weeks I finally learned that it has to do with the redirect. If I take the redirect out and have it go to the backend and then link it to my page it finds the global!

Do you have any ideas on how to get the Global variables after your redirect plugin?

Thanks

Reply from Peter: If you’re talking about getting the ID of the page you’re on when viewing the page, there’s nothing in the redirect plugin that is preventing that from happening. The redirect plugin allows a completely new page reload. Sounds like there’s something else going on.

Thx for the great Plugin! I would like to redirect the users directly after the registration-process to one of the pages. (Not to the backend-login as default) Is that possible with your plugin? And how does it works? I use WP 2.9.2 with sipmle:press-forum and this is my last chance to get a ‘clean’ registration. So your help was very useful! THX a lot!

Reply from Peter: If you’re using a version of WordPress prior to 3.0 and are using the default registration process (wp-login.php?action=register) it looks like the only way to change the post-registration redirect URL is to edit wp-login.php (look for the section under case: ‘register’)

i want both b.com and c.com to be able to login through a.com as well as their respective sites. assuming that the user sets the same username and password on both ends (a.com and say b.com), how can i pass those login credentials from a.com to b.com/c.com so they don’t have to login again on the external sites?

basically, i want clients to be able to login through my own website to access their files vs making them login through their own wp-login. login through both both ends (a.com and the external b/c.com) would be essential just in case the parent a.com goes offline for whatever reason (they’d still be able to access login through their own server).

thoughts?

Reply from Peter: This doesn’t really pertain to my plugin and I haven’t researched much into this topic. If your sites are all sitting on the same server, you could start here: http://techblog.touchbasic.com/html/single-unified-login-for-multiple-wordpress-2-8-installs-in-subdirectories-using-cookies/

@MikeonTV, maybe check out Smashing Magazine’s post. Number 3 in their WordPress powertips "3. Embedding a log-in form that returns to the current location" might do the trick, checking it myself now.

Reply from Peter: See this comment. You could also write your own function that completely overrides the wp_logout function.

I’m not sure people realise how tricky this could be – I work with both drupal and joomla. It’s possible in Drupal (but very tricky), and I’ve never found a way to do it at all in Joomla.

Congrats.

For Shawn above, if you upgrade to 1.8 there is a place for a username variable so you would redirect to:

http://mywebsite.net/members/[variable]username[/variable]/activity/

Might be helpful to add to the plugin – check tables, if table doesn’t exist, don’t show form, rather show info on how to create the table.

Aside from that, worked perfectly and the PHP is very neat.

Thanks!

Reply from Peter: Thanks for the feedback. I will add the table details to a “Troubleshooting” section in the post.

I only want this for subscribers.

What I can’t figure out is what to put into the url, because each persons activity page is different

example:
http://mywebsite.net/members/admin/activity/

the ‘admin’ is the users wildcard…

ideas?

Reply from Peter: Starting in version 1.8 of the plugin, you can put this as the URL: http://mywebsite.net/members/[variable]username[/variable]/activity/
