Usually if redirection isn't working, there is a conflict with another plugin that is bypassing the WordPress redirect hooks: usual culprits include custom login forms and BuddyPress. That, or the redirect rule isn't matching.

Hello,

I can't get the plugin to redirect to anywhere.

How do I troubleshoot? I followed all the instructions, and the plugin loads fine.

Kindest regards,

Hi Peter and everybody else.
Congratulations for the great plugin, Peter!
I understand the goal of it and I'm very grateful for having it today.
My problem is that I'd like to add [variable]username[/variable] to the URL but no idea how to do it.
Please excuse my ignorance!
I read everything on the link you provided few times but it seams I need some php knowledge which I don't have at all.
I'd like to redirect my users to their personal pages and I hope you will jump down to my low level to say how...Sorry!
Have a great time!
Best,
Polly

Peter!
Your plugin is GREAT!
I didn't put anything to any URL. I've created a page called "user's name", add a user with that name and log with it immediately in his page! Unbelievable! Works a a charm! Please ignore my previous message.
Bless you, Peter!

That hasn't been asked before :) That isn't a feature of this plugin, though. You'd have to look into some sort of URL translator or simply write the functionality that you're looking for at a generic URL. For example, if "client25" is representative of the user's ID, you can handle the lookup of their ID completely in PHP, and don't have to rely on the URL to supply that information.

I believe I may be asking a similar question as many others but am not sure. I am a novice so forgive me if am being repetitive here. I love this plugin. I can successfully redirect users to different pages after login. I am just very confused on how to hide or replace the url of the redirect address. So when a user gets re-directed to their special page: Example - http://www.mysite.com/clients/client25 How can I make that url appear something like : Example - http://www.mysite.com/clients/replaced or hidden? Is using [variable]username[/variable] the solution? If it is I cannot get it to work. Any advice, help, or links to proper tutorials would be awesome. Thanks. And thanks for creating this great plugin.

and i was manually able to enter additional users, does anyone have a fix to this so i do not have to go into phpmyadmin every time i want to add a user?
plus my users now don't show up in clean lists under "login/logout redirects

I have a different problem than some of the rest.
I installed the plugin and when i add a specific user, it SAYS it adds them, but they do not show up like the previous poster (matt millers) picture.

the other weird thing is it will ONLY redirect the last username i enter in.
So if i enter in two users the last person i enter is the ONLY one that will redirect....
what am i missing?

Hi Matt,

Your screenshot indicates that those users should be redirected. Do you have any other plugins that could be conflicting?

Hi Peter ...

I'm a pretty novice WordPress user but I'm getting by. I've installed your login redirect plugin and am having trouble getting it to work. I've selected specific users for login redirect and have entered URLs. However, whenever I log in, those users aren't redirected.

Screenshot of users and URLs at: http://riseaboveindiana.com/wp.....direct.png

Website is: http://www.riseaboveindiana.com.

Sorry if I'm missing something very obvious (which I'm sure is probably the case). Thanks in advance for your help!

Matt
