# Redirect on Registration

 * When a new member registers on the above url they include their own password 
   and it’s not required that they are approved by admin. This all works well but
   after signing up they are then kept on the same page and asked to login using
   their chosen username and password. After this they are sent to the same url 
   again but this time with the message 
   **You are logged in as …..**
 * What I want instead is for them to be auto redirected after login to the main
   members page which is at /members-area/ and I can find no setting to be able 
   to do that. Please can you help? I have not included urls for my client’s privacy
   as the site is not yet live.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fredirect-on-registration%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@thejanemorris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thejanemorris/) Just to 
   check first — what’s generating your signup form? Members doesn’t ship a registration
   form, so nothing inside Members controls what happens right after someone registers.
   That part is coming from WordPress core or another plugin/theme, and that’s where
   the post-registration behaviour would need to be set.
 * For the login step, though, if you’re using our shortcode you can point it wherever
   you want:
 * `[members_login_form redirect="https://yoursite.com/members-area/"]`
 * Use the full URL, not just `/members-area/`. If you’re using the Members login
   form widget instead, there’s a **Redirect** field in the widget settings that
   does the same thing.
 * One thing that makes me think something else is involved: “You are logged in 
   as…” isn’t a string Members outputs — ours says “You are already logged in.” 
   So that message is likely coming from your theme or another plugin. If you can
   tell me what’s rendering the register/login forms, I can point you in the right
   direction.
 * Regards,
