Hi there,

EE already sets this up by default so what may be happening is another plugin is hooking into the new user registration process and overriding the redirect_url value EE sets.

Are you using a plugin to manage ‘members’ on the site? If so, which plugin?

Is there a test event I can register onto to view this?

You are correct, the default registration does bring the new user back to the registration. Having said that, it was a bit confusing (most of our members are not tech savvy) because our new members thought they had to go to their email inbox then come back to the registration.

Sorry but I dont follow this.

The default registration flow would have been:

1. Click to register onto an event.
2. User showing the login/register requirement clicks to register onto site.
3. Adds a username and email address and click register.
4. User is automatically logged in and redirected back to the checkout page at that point where they can continue to register onto the event.

In any case, we wanted to provide them with a more user friendly registration as well as collect their home address and mobile phone in the process.

That’s fine, but still doesn’t sound like the ‘default’ WP registration process. You can use a custom registration page but if you are using a plugin to create a different User registration flow (not EE registrations) then it may be ignoring the redirect_to value EE sends to the page.

I assume you are directing the user to a different registration page than the default WP one? Meaning you’ve set a new URL in Event Espresso -> Registration Form -> User intergration settings -> Registration Page URL?

We’re testing the free versions of Ultimate Member and Profile Builder, but open to suggestions.

You’re using both currently?

Which one are you using to create WP user from the EE event registration process?

Ok so I checked into profile builder and whilst it is possible to set up redirect url after a user is registered through it, profile builder needs to automatically log the newly registered user in before you get to that point and I can’t see a way to do it.

I can see how you can set a static url which can then be changed via a custom function, the value that shows to auto login doesn’t seem to work.

I’m assuming you are using the free version with no support?

Sure, but you don’t need the referrer for this.

You want to check if you have an activate EE_Checkout and if you do then you can use that for the redirect url.

Something like this:

You can add that to a custom functions plugin on your site, we have some documentation on creating one here:

(Note whilst I’m not making any specific members plugin recommendation here, I’m not familiar with either plugins codebase at all but with Ultimate Member it took about 10 minutes to find the correct location/hook to do this within their code… Profile builder took a lot longer to decipher and even then not easily done. Just my 2 cents.)

Here is an example of how you can autofill those details using previously answer questions:

https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-wp-user/jf_filter_address_answer_for_wpuser.php

You could alter that to pull the details from the WP user account if needed.
