This Topic keeps getting pushed away....
How can we BYPASS the DASHPANEL when a user logs in.
A lot of us want our users to go directly to the site view and not be forced into the Dashpanel. Seems there was a plugin that accomplished this but I cannot seem to discover which one if any can do it. SO...How do we do this in the new 2.6.1 version of WP ????

Using this search on Google...
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sidebar-login/
It lets users login, and then redirects them back to the page they logged in from rather than the backend, it also shows error messages.
Aside from being in the sidebar, that sounds like what you are after.

jdem,
Not sure that is what I was asking for...
I want the normal, basic user, after logging in, to be taken to the "VIEW SITE" screen instead of that awful Dashpanel.
regards,
Steve

Hi steverf, How are you?
Before we re-enter the ceremonial circle of cyclic redundancy, (see this thread; http://wordpress.org/support/topic/178702?replies=22)
and for the sake of clarity and precision, while conceding that I have read very little of your many duplicate posts on this subject, could you please be kind enough to post a fresh link to:
I am more than willing to take another crack at sorting out what is not working for you, but as I and others have already offered you more than one currently working solution to your situation in the past, I hesitate to go any further without seeing the problem through your eyes if possible. And I would remind you to consider as well, my last post to you here;
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/178702?replies=22#post-769378 , if you still have more than one "site" on that domain please.

Clayton, thank you for your response...
I does sound like a circle... but this is very very simple...
and I went through the same questions last year...
Default WP 2.61 Installation, Nothing fancy
1. Log in from the default WP Login Screen
(Which takes my users Directly to the default WP DashPanel)
2. On the top of the default Dashpanel there is a link called "View Site" which , when clicked, takes the user to the default WP Blog Page represented in different forms depending on the theme selected. For the sake of argument lets stick to DEFAULT INSTALLATION, CLASSIC THEME.
3. The page we want our users taken to is the DEFAULT WP PAGE the user is taken to when he clicks on "VIEW SITE" in that annoying Default WP DashPanel.
That should be easy enough, it is all Default WP stuff...Without going in any circle of cyclic redundancy.
Desired Process: Login, BYPASS DashPanel and GO DIRECTLY to the Default page called by the default "VIEW SITE" at the top of that Default Dashpanel....
If I created a NEW install right this second... I would be taken to the DASHPANEL after the default login. Seems simple, yet not one quick easy simple answer, yet....
We shall see what happens now...

We shall see what happens now...
What is that supposed to mean?
but this is very very simple
Oh, yes. Indeed it is. And you have been given tested, proven solutions.
"What will happen now", is that I am making my final offer to help you correct what I suspect at this point, is purely "operator error." You haven't fixed it, yet you continue to ask for help. You are simply regurgitating back to us, all of the obvious operational characteristics of WordPress that any user with one day under his belt will notice, and your response is providing absolutely none of the information I have requested to help you. Your pleas for assistance hardly seem in earnest at this point. If your site is still here:
http://friendsofbaldwin.com/blog/
...then lets get down to brass tacks and try to really give you what you want. If after that, I can't fix your problem, I'll tell you I can't, and you can keep bitching. Do you want help, or a just a place to verbalize?

In the interest of possibly helping other individuals with similar ideas, here is an exact, (if not overkill) description of how ONE plugin has worked for me every time I have used it, as well as an exact description of what it does. I am sure that there are numerous other solutions that do the same, if not more, depending on your needs and expectations, but I like to try and keep it simple.
This is the author credit, and his description of what this plugin does;
Plugin Name: Login Stayput
Description: Sets redirect_to on wp_loginout function to keep users on the same page they were on when they clicked login. Inspired by Weasel's Login Redirect / Text Change
Author: Justin S. Peavey
Version: 1.0
Author URI: http://www.trashcan.org
Here is the contents of the plugin file for your inspection:
<?php
function jsp_loginredirect($link) {
// Add redirect_to argument
$from = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (substr_count($link,'?') > 0) {
$link = str_replace('">','&redirect_to='.$from.'">',$link);
} else {
$link = str_replace('">','?redirect_to='.$from.'">',$link);
}
return $link;
}
add_filter('loginout','jsp_loginredirect');
?>The author invites anyone with modifications, suggestions, or improvements to freely do so, and I quote;
"This is about as simple as a plugin can get, this plugin sets the redirect_to on your login link to be the same page that the login link is on. This keeps users on the same page and stops them from going to the wp-admin interface. This has only been tested with WordPress 2.0.5 and I’ll likely update it for future versions as I upgrade. I am not offering support for feature requests, but if something is broken, post a comment here and I’ll take a look when I get a chance. No promises. If you extend its functionality or clean it up, please feel free but also please post your updates here."
Here you go; http://www.trashcan.org/2006/12/15/wordpress-login-stayput-plugin/
It does exactly as it says. When a user logs in, or out, it returns that user to the page they were viewing when they selected the "login" or "logout" link. NOT TO THE DASHBOARD. It also performs the exact function that you (steverf), have expressed your desire for so many times over.
I have used this plugin myself through several versions of WordPress with no problem at all. As a control measure, I installed it on two WordPress blogs in the last 24 hours. Both versions 2.6.1. The plugin performed as expected, with no additional effort other than activating it, on both sites.
Just to recap... and I'll use the short version this time, I promise...
-Download it.
-Extract it.
-Upload the file to your plugin folder and activate it.
Now that's simple. If you are searching for a non-plugin solution, I suppose you would have to be comfortable with understanding the code you need to edit, and the implications and inconvenience (ever forgotten to save a modified file before doing an upgrade?) of doing so.
I leave you to reach your own conclusions.

Hi ClaytonJames,
Appreciate you thought about possibly helping other individuals,
this was just what I looked for and explained very clearly!
Thanks

If you are not using a Windows computer, you will already know what to do with the archive.
I wish I knew what I already knew. :/
I have StuffIt, the full version, but this file was in accessible to me. [I'm on a Mac.]
I'm having a devil of a time finding a redirect login plug-in. All the links in the forums are dead, files don't work. It's almost like a conspiracy! [Okay, not really, but it is really, really weird.]
If anyone knows anything that's available now, I would much appreciate a heads up. Thanks!
Seems eminently reasonable to me Clayton - but then my users never have this "problem" of logging in and going to the dashboard.
I just find it hard to take this guy seriously after looking at his site and finding his first post has OVER 5000 (yes, 5000 THOUSAND) comments - the majority of which are total spam. Great if you want to buy Viagra, though.

I know this post was from several months ago but just wanted to add that it was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the detail, Clayton.

If you want to change the login redirect there are plugins in the directory that do this...
Here's one.
