   Hi

   How can I stop new users from going directly to their dashboard? I think this is just going to confuse my users... I've found a redirect plugin - but that's too harsh, it means they're forced back somewhere, and, crucially it doesn't get rid of the 'dashboard' link under the login widget in the sidebar

   Thanks

   Edit the login widget and remove the link to the dashboard.

   This plugin should work:

   Gixxer - good suggestion, But I don't know which file the login which it is... wp-login.php?

   Michael thanks that is what I found but I don't want people to be forced to go somewhere which is basically what this login redirect plug-in does.

   Vergiss das bearbeiten von Core-files ... öffne die sidebar.php Deines Themes und bau das Login selber.
   

   <form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
   <table border="0">
   <tr><td>Benutzername:</td><td>Passwort:</td></tr>
   <tr>
   	<td><input type="text" class="rounded" name="log" id="user_login" value="<?php echo attribute_escape(stripslashes($user_login)); ?>" style="width:130px;"></td>
   	<td><input type="password" class="rounded" name="pwd" id="user_pass" style="width:130px;"></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
   	<td><input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="rememberme" value="forever"/> angemeldet bleiben?</td>
   	<td align="right"><input type="submit" value="Login" class="button" name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit"></td>
   </tr>
   </table>
   <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="http://<?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>" />
   <input type="hidden" name="testcookie" value="1" />
   </form>

   Der Trick hier ist der "redirect_to" Befehl ... nach dem Login wird der User gleich zur Seite "zurückgeschickt", auf der er sich angemeldet hat. Nahtlos, sozusagen.

   For anyone who doen't have a german friend on hand, the translation of mores' post:
   ------------------------------------------
   Forget about working on core files. Open the sidebar.php file of your theme and develop the login yourself.

   The trick here is, the "redirect to" command ... after the login, the
   user is sent back immediately to the page where he logged-in. Seamless
   so to say.

   Next trick - how do I get rid of the 'dashboard' option in the sidebar?
