Hi, I’m a WP/bbpress newbie with some technical background who recently joined a collective blog. I am trying to work through our current list of open bugs right now.

We have an issue where when a user logs into our forums via the the “login” page/link, they are logged in but re-directed out to the site landing page, rather than the forum landing page, as expected.

Is there a setting that I can configure or a variable that I need to change the value of somewhere so that users get the expected behavior when logging in to our forums?

Thanks,
Michelle

This plugins should help if you want more control.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/

Without a Plugin you have to add this to your child themes functions.php

add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'rkk_login_redirect' );
function rkk_login_redirect() {
    // Change forums to whatever is your forum main page
    return home_url( '/forums' );
}

Thanks Rob! I was able to fix it via plugin.
