User is always redirected to the dashboard after sign-in

    I’m using WP 4.5.3 and the latest version of this plugin.

    I have activated the plugin.
    For “Where to after Login?” I have specified “Go to Site Home” which is just a simple static page.

    “Site Home Always Visible?” Is checked.
    There’s no custom login page.
    Users can not self-register.

    It’s a pretty simple setup…..but when my users log in, they are redirected to the Dashboard rather than the home page as specified in your settings. These aren’t tech people, they’ll freak out seeing a dashboard.

    Why would this be? And what else can I check?

    Thanks for any guidance.

    I’m not official support for the plugin, but I’ve seen this happen before. I recall that they all turned out to be caching or possibly cookie problems. Either browser caching and/or caching by another WordPress plugin, quite often a plugin that you weren’t aware actually did caching.

    As well as flushing both browser and WordPress caches, clearing all WordPress cookies from your browser after you’ve logged off WordPress, would be a good idea.

    No promises but certainly an answer to “what else can I check?”
