At first, I did experience the same issue as eric B. Every time I tried to update the plugin settings I was redirected back to my login page. After some time spent eliminating possible plugin conflicts I realized the issue was an incorrect form URL (for my site at least).

wplogin_redirect.php has four lines similar to the following:
<form name="…" action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?page=' . basename(__FILE__); ?>" method="post">

This resulted in a post to /wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wplogin_redirect.php. While my blog does physically reside in the wordpress directory, it is treated as the root of the site through URL rewrites.

My solution was to make the following change to the lines in question:
<form name="…" action="<?php print $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>" method="post">

i.e. "$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?page=' . basename(__FILE__)" becomes "$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']"

I hope this helps someone out.

Reply from Peter: Thanks for this. For version 1.7.3 I took a slightly different approach — just eliminating the $_SERVER part altogether.

Problem Solved!!!!…. If you wish to redirect users back to their original login page the following code appears to work (at least Outside of the Loop). You will need to format it for your particular case but here it is…..

_______________________
<?php if (is_user_logged_in()){ ?>
<?php global $wpdb, $rul_db_addresses, $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$user_home_page = $wpdb->get_var('SELECT rul_url FROM ' . $rul_db_addresses .
' WHERE rul_type = \'user\' AND rul_value = \'' . $current_user->user_login . '\' LIMIT 1'); ?>

<a href="<?php echo $user_home_page;?>"><?php _e('User Home Page');?></a>
<?php } else { ?>
Do something else if user not logged in
<?php } ?>

I did just discover that "Custom Login Logo" plugin conflicts with this plugin though. EG: If you visit a page that requires login (say wp-admin/) it redirects to the login page, but fails to redirect back and simply loops the login page without an error.

Reply from Peter: My plugin simply makes use of a normal WordPress hook, so if the other plugin is trying to rewrite some core WordPress functionality, there’s not much that can be done to cater to plugins like it on a general basis. I’d suggest looking at other ways to customize your login page, such as this CSS tip.

Thanks for this masterpiece of plugin, mate.

Keep up the good work.

Greetings.

Ivan.

Thanks for the great plugin.

I too want to be able for the user to navigate to other parts of my site and then get back to their specific login page. I have read each and every comment here and tried to write an SQL Query but it is not quite working. I wish to use it Outside the Loop in the header.php

Here is where I am up to…

——————————–
<?php
$rul_db_addresses = $wpdb->prefix . 'login_redirects';
global $wpdb, $rul_db_addresses;
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();

$usergallerys = "SELECT * FROM $rul_db_addresses WHERE rul_value = $current_user->user_login ";
$usergallery = $wpdb->get_results($usergallerys, OBJECT);
echo $usergallery->rul_value;
?>
——————————-

Am I on the right track????

Cheers and thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Reply from Peter: No, you shouldn’t need any default or admin redirects. I can’t replicate your problem, but it might be due to a clash with another plugin, especially if that plugin overrides any core WordPress functionalities.

They can still go to their dashboard using the "Site Admin" link. I found that new users were confused when the "site" disappeared and this weird "control panel" showed up instead. Particularly if they're were just setting up a quick account to leave a comment.
