So we have the login/register widget.

– User clicks Register
– It then shows the custom Register page
– Fill in details

When a user clicks the “Register” button it then takes you to the default wordpress login page with a small message in the middle saying the registration is complete and to check email.

This is confusing to the user and provides an inconsistent experience. Is it possible in any way to either redirect them to another custom page with the “results” or display it on our page own register page?

[Chuckie]

It was suggested:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/registration_redirect

But I tried:

add_filter( ‘registration_redirect’, ‘my_redirect_home’ );
function my_redirect_home( $registration_redirect ) {
return ‘https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/registration-complete’;
}

I used the “Snippets” plugin and it did not seem to work.

This works:

// Redirect Registration Page
function my_registration_page_redirect()
{
    global $pagenow;
 
    // Standard Registration Redirect
    if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == 'wp-login.php') && (strtolower($_GET['action']) == 'register') ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url('/register/') );
    }
  
    // Redirection after successful registration
    if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == 'wp-login.php') && (strtolower($_GET['checkemail']) == 'registered') ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url('/registration-complete/') );
    }
}
 
add_filter( 'init', 'my_registration_page_redirect' );

@ajtruckle Sorry for the dumb question, but which functions file did you paste this into?

I have been looking everywhere for a solution to this seemingly simple problem, but none of the plugins I have tried seem to work. I’m very hopeful about this one!

[Chuckie]

Hi @ericsims

You should use a child theme, and then, have your functions file in the child theme folder. That is all you need to do.

[Robin W]

or use

Code Snippets

[ericsims]

Hallelujah, it worked! Thank you so much!! I ended up using the Code Snippets plugin because I’m not super comfortable with php, child themes, etc.

[Chuckie]

Great! I also use Code Snippets for some things too. Well done.

Hi, I think I am over my head with forum/registration. Any user other than myself has to first register in order to make comments on the forum. When, they click “register”, there is no page set up for it.

So, I believe I am a few steps away.

1. Need to set up registration page.
2. One they fill in the registration page, it needs to communicate that to the forum.
3. Once that is communicated to the forum, they new user needs to be able make comments.

If anyone takes my issue on, it may be more of a commitment than you would want.

Thank you very very much,

Just use “Theme my Login”. It does everything.

[justephen]

Where do I find “Theme my Login”?

[justephen]

Sorry, here is my site. http://www.justephen.com

[Chuckie]

Here:

Theme My Login

You can install it from there.

[justephen]

Thank you. I actually found it and installed and activated it. As I understand it, once activated it should add about six more pages to my site. Login, Registration, Password etc. None of those loaded. It did say, when I added plug in that the newest version has not been tested.

Thanks

[Chuckie]

You create those pages. Each page has a short code it in. You then tell Theme My Login the links to each of those pages.
