Redirection after login
If you would like to redirect your users after login there are also 2 options:
1. Redirect after each login
Go to the Login Settings tab in MiniOrange settings > Advanced Settings section > Custom Redirect after login URL.
Enter the URL you wish your users to be redirected to there.
Please see below:
2. Redirect after registration (first login) to your service
If you want your users to be redirected to a custom URL after registration only, you need to make changes in the functions.php file of your Wordpress website.
Please refer to the example below, pay special attention to $custom_page_url
add_action('user_register', 'miniorange_registration' , 10, 1);
// Function Definition
function miniorange_registration( $user_id ) {
$custom_page_url = 'https://your-url-goes-here';
wp_redirect( $custom_page_url );
exit;
}
