Have you done any other changes/updates or installed any other plugins recently?
There is nothing in the plugin that would direct a user to the wp-login form. However, it does not automatically override any login links created by WP or other plugins (wp_login_url). It sounds like that is what you are clicking on.
Hi, Chad:
Thank you very much for your reply.
I did not install any “new” plugin recently, neither any redirect plugin or changed any settings. But yes, some of the installed plugin(s) has updated version recently.
The problem is: user can only login through front end “wp-members widget” login form, but now, when user clicks the widget’s “login” bottom, it will redirect to back end WP default form and have to re-enter the log in info AGAIN, and then it did not go back to the front, it goes to back end WP user profile page instead. Since I don’t want user to know anything about the “back end”, that’s why I was using WP-Members, because it always goes to front, not back.
Just wondering if I missed anything or any settings after the updated, or where should I check for what’s going on. I am sure this is never happened before, until the new updated. Since, I only use WP-Members from the very beginning.
So, if you have any idea for what’s going on or anything that I can check on my side, please advise. Really appreciate it.

Here is the partial code that I copied from showing the web page code (only the widget form):
<div class=”sidebar right lzblock” data-block=”rightsidebar”>
<div id=”widget_wpmemwidget-2″ class=”widget wp-members”>……<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect_to” value=”/” /><input type=”hidden” name=”a” value=”login” /><input type=”hidden” name=”slog” value=”true” /><div class=”button_div”><input type=”submit” name=”Submit” class=”buttons” value=”log in” />……</form></div></div>
I have the other site that also installed WP-Memebers, but the other site has no login problem (no re-direct problem).
Since both sites have very similar plugins installed, it’s very weird!
Hi, Chad:
I tried to dis-active all recently updated plugins, but still no help, even disable them all, the login still led to back end WP default login form. And, every time clicked on the login button, the url showed “http://domain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdomain.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1”, don’t know why and how this “re-direct” action happened??? I tested on my local test site as well, the same result.
Just want to give you more detail information, if you have any idea, please advise, really appreciate it.
Hi, Chad:
Would like to give you an update: just found out that it conflicts with the plugin – “Security-protection”. After deactivated this plugin, it won’t redirect to back end.
Thanks.
