Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a front end page that contains "edit" links in order to encourage contributors to update/amend the information on my site. However, these links for users who arent logged in, point to the login/register page. Id like (if possible) to implement the following functionality.

1. Guest user clicks on EDIT
2. They are sent to the login page
3. They log in, and then are redirected back to the page they were trying to edit in the first place

(Ignore this behaviour for users that arent registered)

Is there any documentation that you are following?

I am currently using the following code which works well (except it doesnt redirect)

<hr />
<p style="text-align: right;">[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-current-user info='id']' eq '')"]<br />
<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>">edit</a><br />
[/wpv-conditional]</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">[wpv-conditional evaluate="false" if="('[wpv-current-user info='id']' eq '')"]<br />
[toolset-edit-post-link layout_slug="edit-vehicle"]edit[/toolset-edit-post-link]<br />
[/wpv-conditional]</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Im currently working on localhost

What is the link to your site?

localhost, sorry.

Hello,

The WordPress built-in login form supports URL parameter "redirect_to", use it you can redirect logged in user to the specific URL, for example, you can modify the codes from:

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>">edit</a>

To:

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>">edit</a>

And test again,

more help:

$redirect_to
(string) (required) The redirect destination URL.
Default: None

Thank you Luo, that worked well, BUT (and I apologise I probably could've worded my original question differently) the user needs to land on the actual EDIT page.

So if I click on the edit link on this hidden link

it needs to redirect to hidden link (with 289 being the actual ID)

How can I append the ?layout_id=ID at the end of the URl?

I tried [wpv-layout-id] but that didnt work.

[Luo Yang]

You can add the "layout_id=289" into the URL manually, for example:

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>">edit</a>

Ah, crap.

Apologies, I assumed the layout_ID changed dynamically between each post.

i've just checked and it doesn't.

DOH!

Thank you Luo.
