    Hello again,

    After several experiments with redirects, I can safely say none of the shortcode techniques is resulting in a successful redirect on my X Theme-driven site. For me this applies to at least the following:

    – [login]
    – [login-logout-toggle]
    – [register]
    – [forgot-password]
    …and the widget.

    Is it possible my theme is conflicting with the plugin?

    I have found multiple support posts detailing similar redirect woes, and very few have had positive outcomes (changing single quotes to double quotes seemed to improve things on certain sites, but there were few other solutions posted). So it would seem there is a widespread, but clearly not universal, issue with redirects.

    I am willing to give you (meaning the plugin authors!) wide-ranging access to the live site to go bug hunting, as it is fairly low stakes at the moment, but I would prefer to do this offline. I have a little time to spare to help get to the bottom of this.

    Interested?

    Hi David,

    It is possible that themes conflict with plugins. Could you let us know the full shortcode you have written, which displays an error?

    Good morning! OK, here are some test pages on the live site to serve as examples:

    a)
    Page: http://www.davidekabramson.com/logout/
    Edited with: WordPress editor (basic site-wide X Theme elements only, no page builder elements)
    Shortcode: [logout no_message='No' redirect_page='http://www.davidekabramson.com/']

    b)
    Page: http://www.davidekabramson.com/login/
    Edited with: Cornerstone page builder (part of X Theme)
    Shortcode column 1: [login redirect_page='http://www.davidekabramson.com/']
    Shortcode column 2: [register redirect_page='http://www.davidekabramson.com/login/']

    c)
    Page: http://www.davidekabramson.com/register/
    Edited with: WordPress editor (basic site-wide X Theme elements only, no page builder elements)
    Shortcode: [register redirect_page='http://www.davidekabramson.com/login/']

    d)
    Page: http://www.davidekabramson.com/reset-password/
    Edited with: WordPress editor (basic site-wide X Theme elements only, no page builder elements)
    Shortcode: `[forgot-password redirect_page=’http://www.davidekabramson.com/password-reset-email-sent/’ loggedin_page=’http://www.davidekabramson.com/logout/’
    reset_email_url=’http://www.davidekabramson.com/confirm-password-reset/’%5D`

    e)
    Page: http://www.davidekabramson.com/sign-in/
    Edited with: WordPress editor (basic site-wide X Theme elements only, no page builder elements)
    Shortcode: `[login-logout-toggle login_redirect_page=”http://www.davidekabramson.com/”
    logout_redirect_page=”http://www.davidekabramson.com/sign-in/”%5D`

    f)
    Page: http://www.davidekabramson.com/password-reset-email-sent/
    Edited with: Cornerstone page builder (part of X Theme)
    Shortcode: [confirm-forgot-password]

    We can work together on this for another hour or two. After that I turn into a pumpkin for the rest of the day.

    Thanks for the response!

    Hi David,

    We have tsted with WP default themes and the redirects are working properly. Could you try disabling X Theme and using another WP default theme and see if it works?

    Also, if you could let us know if there are any error messages displayed when you are trying to redirect to another page.

    Best regards,

    On the second question: no, there are no error messages. Debug is currently off, as this is a functioning live site.

    Could you try disabling X Theme and using another WP default theme and see if it works?

    There is no way to do this with the live site, as it is completely X-Theme dependent, but I will try re-creating the conditions on my ServerPress local dev site and see what happens there. Not sure the local site will behave the same, but it’s worth playing around with. Hoping to get back to you later this morning (PST).

    Reporting back:

    Testing on my local dev site, the redirects functioned as expected even with X Theme enabled, which sent me scratching my head back to the live site…

    There, I noticed the Front-End Only Users plugin version was older than the version I was using on the dev site I created this morning. After updating the live site to that latest version AND updating to WordPress 4.5.3, redirects seem to be functioning as expected! I still have setup and testing to do, but this is very promising.

    I also tested pages employing X Theme’s Cornerstone page builder, and after the aforementioned updates those pages redirect, as well. What’s interesting is that prior to these updates, shortcodes used in Cornerstone (whether in a Raw element or a Text element) were being displayed as code blocks rather than rendering as the expected fields and buttons (they did, however, publish correctly). After the version updates, Cornerstone now displays the fields and buttons correctly while editing. Also a vast improvement.

    Not sure what happened, but something has clicked between X Theme, Cornerstone, and Front-End Only Users. Let me know if I can be of any assistance in figuring out what made this improvement happen, if it helps to proactively maintained F-EOU moving forward.

    Thanks & all the best!

    Hi Deka,

    Thank you very much for following up and letting us know where the issues lay. This will surely be beneficial to others who may be experiencing similar problems with this theme combination.

    My pleasure. And for the record, my functioning version numbers:

    – WordPress: 4.5.3
    – X Theme: 4.5.2 (running X child theme)
    – Cornerstone: 1.2.4
    – Front-End Only Users: 2.9.8

    Hope that helps someone.

    @dekafilm I am very interested to hear how you got this to work with Cornerstone (as I am also using X). Where did you add the shortcode?
