A Login link on a page that returns user to page
-
Hi this issue is dealt with by a wordpress.org plugin but is there a way to achieve it in a wordpress.com blog?
The aim is to make a Login link on a Home page (in a Text widget) which processes a Login by a registered (to the site) user and returns the user to that same Home page rather than to the Dashboard.
Scenario? A public blog for a Club whose members are registered. A member visits the public blog and if necessary logs in – without in effect leaving that Home page and in particular without being sent off into Dashboard-world.
Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Not possible on WordPress.com unless you want to make them all Contributors, with the ability to blog.

Go to the link raincoaster gave you. On the right, under “Related”, go to “Adding Users”.

If I understand correctly, I think you can do that with the redirect_to query string argument.
Try using a link like this for the login:
http://YOUR_DOMAIN/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://YOUR_DOMAIN/
Replace YOUR_DOMAIN with your blog name. For example:
http://midwaysurf.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://midwaysurf.wordpress.com/
It doesn’t matter what the user role is for registered users, but the role limits what types of things each user can do in the dashboard. Regardless of the user role, users can access the dashboard using the Blogs menu in the gray admin bar which all WordPress.com users see when they are logged in.
