I’m not sure you can do that using the default widget, but it shouldn’t be hard to hack. Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t have the time to really look into it right now.
You can also redirect to a particular URL using the ‘login_redirect’filter, if you wanted to do that.
To override the default redirect after login use the ‘login_redirect’ filter. Just remember to make sure a valid URL is returned to keep things working smoothly.
An example implementation is:
function custom_redirect($redirect_to) {
// $redirect_to is the current redirect URL
// Let's return our own redirect URL
return 'http://www.mysite.com';
}
add_filter('login_redirect','custom_redirect');
dgwyer, I think that solmartin wants to redirect to whatever post/page the user is on at the time of login, not to redirect to some fixed location. I couldn’t get that to work using the ‘login_redirect’ filter, though I admittedly only tried for a few minutes tops.
Yeah, the code I posted was how to redirect to ANY given URL using the ‘login_redirect’ filter. Redirecting to the current page is another matter.
This is purely a PHP problem, nothing to do with WordPress really (unless there is a WP function I don’t know about to do this!). You can find loads of Google results on how to do it. I have found this on particularly useful in the past:

Solmartin – a friend of mine has a site and uses a plugin ‘login with ajax’ (NetWebLogic). When I’m on his main page and login, it keeps me right there.
Hope this is a help 🙂
I was halfway through explaining why you can’t do this when…
function custom_redirect($redirect_to) {
global $post;
return '<a href="'.wp_login_url(get_permalink($post->ID)).'">Login</a>';
}
add_filter('loginout','custom_redirect');
I think that should work, but but likely needs some switching for the ‘login’ vs. ‘logout’ cases and maybe some other things. UIts a good start anyway.
