Easy and fast way login redirect to buddypress profile page

#1

I see many “threads” regarding redirect. And it seem that the “level” of s2member and wp speak is over my head.
I laymen’s terms. How do I go about setting up a login redirect to the buddypress user profile page?

A walk through on the steps would be appreciated?

I have a site http://whatshappeningtoday.com and I will be using Dynamic Widgets to show s2member login as the login widget.

But, once logged in I want to use the GEO Dashboard widget.

However, once logged in “initially” I would like them directed to logged in user’s profile page.

Thank you so much in advance.
Kind regards,
Wolfie

On your Wordpress dashboard go to S2member > General Options > Login Welcome Page. You should see a field for entering a special redirection link. Input your website home URL with a wild card : http://www.example.com/members/%%current_user_nicename%%/profile/

There is also some helpful hints there also if you get stuck

Thank you for your response. I have tried this but two things are happening.

One, I am getting a warning that http://whatshappeningtoday.com/members/%%current_user_nice_name%%/profile may cause a conflict. (when I attempted to use this I accidentally entered the wrong password and it redirect me to the wp-login.php page. not what I want)

When I did login it redirected me to a page 404 page not found. ( wanted to end up on "my buddypress profile)

kind regards,

Topic resolved. I was typing in “user_nice_name” instead of “user_nicename”

Thank you.
