[Resolved] Redirect after login

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I've added a view to a page so that when an unlogged in user attempts to click on a PDF download within that view/grid, it takes them to a login page. After they login, it takes them to an account page basically. But what I need it to do, is instead, after logging in, for it to take them right to the PDF that they clicked on initially, or back to that same page where they found the PDF on in the first place:)

Solution:

If it is a login from setup by Views shortcode [wpv-login-form], then it is possible to setup the redirect URL with shortcode attribute "redirect_url".

You can try to setup the links as below:

<p><a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> field='download-file' output='raw'][/types]" target="_blank">[wpv-post-featured-image size="medium"]</a></p>
<h4><a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> field='download-file' output='raw'][/types]" target="_blank">[wpv-post-title]</a></h4>

Add target="_blank" attribute to HTML a tags, more help:
hidden link
_blank Opens the linked document in a new window or tab
