I know I can use Toolset to create a login form and redirect the user to a certain page after login as described on https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-login-form.

However, is it also possible to redirect the user back to the page they were on before they went to the login page?

So say a user is on the contact page, and clicks on the "login" menu item. He will then be taken to the login page. After logging in, he should be redirected back to the contact page, since that's the page he was on before he went to the login page.

Hi Marcel,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Unfortunately you're not able to do this with our Toolset plugins and shortcodes. However given that our plugin triggers the wordpress default login functions then you should be able to follow the instructions in the link below to create a custom script to do this.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
