# Multisite redirect confusion

 *  Resolved [lukeobritt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukeobritt/)
 * (@lukeobritt)
 * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-redirect-confusion/)
 * The Issue: Logged in Users are not redirected to their private pages after successful
   log in.
 * This is a WP sub-directory multisite
 * Summary: Users who successfully log in are directed to a page containing nothing
   but a title and the shortcode [client-portal]. I expected this to redirect them
   to their private pages. Instead, after successful login, users are redirected
   to the page with the [client-portal] shortcode but are not passed on to their
   private pages.
 * Here what I did:
 * 1) Published a page on the network main site with only this shortcode: [client-
   portal]
 * 2. I added this shortcode to the login page (the url is from the page mentioned
   above): [wppb-login redirect_url=”[https://lukeobritt-new.staging.wpmudev.host/locating-client-page”%5D](https://lukeobritt-new.staging.wpmudev.host/locating-client-page”%5D)
 * 3. Used Profile Builder to create a new user.
 * 4. I logged in with that user, and while the log in and initial redirect worked,
   the user is left on the page with the [client-portal] shortcode and not passed
   on to their private page.
 * I will continue to research, but any help you can offer would be appreciated.

 * New information: I had been working in the staging environment only. I pushed
   that to production and tested it again and I was indeed passed from the [client-
   portal] page, but instead of directing me to the correct private page, I was 
   sent to wp-admin. Not sure what this means. I certainly hope you do. 🙂
 * Ignore this. This was a staging credential issue. Once I dealt with that, the
   behavior on the live site was identical to the staging site. After log in, user
   is not sent to his private page. I tried the Twenty-twenty theme, and that did
   not help. Am now
    beginning the plugin disabling adventure.

 * Resolved. But, in case someone else is about to do the “plugin shuffle”, the 
   only reason the redirect was not forwarding was because I configured the plugin
   to use the post theme, but I was creating pages, not posts. As soon as I changed
   from the post theme to page theme, everything worked exactly as advertised. Now,
   I can’t say for sure that this will work for anyone else. It could be that the
   page/post theme issue was a problem unique to my theme.
