Login Link In Text Widget — Return To Current Page
-
I know that you can use the text widget to insert a link to log in to WordPress.com (pretty simple), but when I’ve inserted the plain login link using this method, it always takes me to my admin panel for my active blog.
Is there a way to create a link that will allow someone to log in and then redirect to the current page, regardless of which page that is?
I just copied the link from the comment section of one of my posts, and I’m wondering whether there’s a way to make it universal (referencing the page on which the link was clicked) rather than making it specific to the page:
The popup window is not an issue, so I suppose that would be fine if that were to need to be the case even on my blog’s homepage. Is this url unique to comments and impossible to adapt for general blog usage?
I previously found this page, but it doesn’t seem to work. Perhaps I’m doing it wrong. I tried the previous method for inserting a hyperlink into the text widget, but when I pasted in the suggested text:
and hit the save button, it spat out this reduced result:
This result is what it showed on both my admin page and what it showed on my blog. Is this outdated, or did he leave something generic in his text? It’s certainly not a standard url, but I’ve noticed that wordpress uses a sort of hybrid of html in creating posts and pages rather than true html. I also noticed that he has an extra set of parentheses, with not so much as a space between them. Was this an oversight on his part?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

On the part where I say that it spat out a reduced result, it just reduced both of them again…
