Hello,

I was very excited to find your plug-in. However, no matter what I do, it won't redirect any user.

I am using WP 3.4.2

I am also using Wishlist member plug in. Can that be the reason, yours won't work?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The most common problem is either that there is a redirect_to GET or POST parameter taking precedence, or that another plugin is using custom login code that bypasses WordPress's standard login redirect hook.

Hello Peter.

I was so happy to find your plug-in, but I too have the same problem as the OP.

I have WP 3.4.2 and also WishList Member installed.

In your comment you mention a redirect taking precedence. I don't suppose there is an easy way to find what/where this is?

I'm no PHP programmer, although comfortable with C# so the coding is not difficult to follow. If there was some guidance though on fixing this, I would really appreciate it (and I suppose kurtwagner would also :-b )

Thanks.

PS: I would like to say that it DOES redirect for ONLY me, the ADMIN.

It does not redirect for the other non-admins no matter whether I choose to go by their membership level or directly using their username. It only does it for me alone.

In case that provides any clues.

TIA

The simple way to troubleshoot this would be to deactivate other plugins one by one to see if the redirect then works as expected. A deeper way to debug would be to use a tool such as Xdebug (generic PHP debugger; there might be WordPress specific tools) to trace the PHP calls and see where the redirect URL is coming from. You could troubleshoot in the extension itself by throwing in "die" calls to see whether the rules are actually matching.

Everything was working fine until I updated the plugin now it won't redirect. Any suggestions?

Usually that coincides with another plugin update or install that tries to override the redirect URL behavior.
