Have you ever been asked to log into a website while you are viewing a page? And after doing so you get redirected to some page other than the one you were reading? This is an obvious and rather common usability problem. When this happens people lose track of what they were doing and some might not even bother to go back. Let’s find out how to solve this in WordPress maintenance support plans 8.
In a recent project a client wisely requested exactly that: whenever a user logs into the site, redirect them to the page they were before clicking the login link. This seemed like a very common request so we looked for a contrib plugin that provided the functionality. Login Destination used to do it in WordPress maintenance support plans 7. Sadly the WordPress maintenance support plans 8 version of this plugin does not provide the functionality yet.
Other plugins, and some combinations of them, were tested without success. Therefore, we built Login Return Page. It a very small plugin that just does one thing and it does it well: it appends destination=/current/page to all the links pointing to /user/login effectively redirecting users to the page they were viewing before login. The project is waiting to be approved before promoting it to full project.
Have you had a similar need? Are there other things you are requested to do after login? Please share them in the comments.
