[Resolved] How to redirect from a CRED (new)USER form to the appropriate Cred POST form

Hello,

I can follow the basic tutorials for creating functional Cred USER forms, and Cred POST forms, and my question concerns how to link the two, to make the "flow" more logical for users.

Here's the scenario - a user can submit various types of content, and there are separate Cred POST forms to create these new custom posts.
But, Access to those forms is restricted to logged in users only, and people who are not signed are redirected to the registration/Login page.

My query is - once people have signed in, or created their account via the Cred USER form, how can I redirect people back to the appropriate Cred POST form that they originally clicked on?
I want to maintain the "flow" of what they were trying to do, rather than just sending everybody back to the same "thanks" page, and then hoping that they find their way back to the action they wanted to take.

thanks,
Alan

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Yes - it's possible but you need to write some custom code.

With WordPress you get get referer URL using function: wp_get_referer()

=> Store the original referer to session
=> use referer stored in session to redirect user when he login/register

More info:

However, this will need custom programming and for your custom programming need, please feel free to contact our certified partners.

Hi Minesh

Thanks for your advice.

I was searching through the forum and even though it's really hard to find relevant past threads, I stumbled across this thread - would you agree that it's a good solution to this issue?

Yes - I think you may try that as well.

It should work as shown in the post you shared with me.
