I’ve seen this with others, and it appears to be an issue going back 5 years with bbPress. When I have bbPress installed and activated, then I go to log into the admin dashboard, I am redirected to the front of the site. If I didn’t have the admin bar active, I would have to manually type in the browser address bar the dashboard url. This has been an ongoing issue and I am experiencing it yet again. It does this even with a default WP theme active and it does it locally on my XAMPP development, as well live.

So when bbPress is active, it does this redirect to the front of the site. This happens to me every single time I try it out when testing themes. I’ve even seen this happen with no other plugins, just bbPress and WordPress.

Any official solution to this? I know there are some who posted they cannot replicate the issue, but I have found a lot of people who experience the same issue. Would this be considered a bug?

My WP version is 4.1
bbPress version 2.5.4
Demo site link: HERE

My live site location is setup with WP as a network (multisite) to demo all my themes.

Thanks in Advance.

UPDATE: Forgot to mention this happens only when I log directly into the admin and not through the forum login.

i think its the common redirect for wordpress to redirect to the front page after login

you can use a plugin like this to customize where what user redirects where

Thanks for the plugin info…although this is something that bbpress should change (correct) without using any plugin. When one logs into the admin (dashboard), they should redirect to the dashboard, regardless if bbpress is installed.
