# How to Redirect after Login in WordPress Login Form?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Blocks Pro’s Login & Signup block sends a successful sign-in straight to a chosen page, such as a members area or account page, instead of showing the success message.
- Login & Signup uses Add Action set to Redirect and a Redirect URL on the same site, and it allows only one destination per form.
- Login & Signup is Pro only, and with no redirect set, the form is replaced by the My Account menu when that option is on.

After signing in, most people expect to land somewhere useful, such as a members area or their account page.

The Login & Signup block in Nexter Blocks Pro can send them straight there.

*For every Login & Signup setting in one place, see the [Login & Signup block guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-login-signup-in-wordpress/).*

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Pro** — the Login & Signup block is part of Nexter Blocks Pro.- **Block to enable:** Login & Signup, switched on under **Nexter > Blocks** in your WordPress dashboard.- **The page to send people to**, on the same site.

## Steps

- Add the **Login & Signup** block to your page and click **Design from Scratch**.

- In the **Forms** panel, set **Type** to **Login**.

- Choose a **Layout**: **Inline Form** shows the form on the page, **Button** opens it from a toggle button.

- Open the **Login** tab and build your form fields.

- In **Add Action**, choose **Redirect**.

- Enter the page address in **Redirect URL** and save.

## How It Behaves

- A successful sign-in takes the visitor straight to that page instead of showing the success message.- A failed sign-in leaves them on the form with your Validation Text.- With no redirect set, the form is replaced by the My Account menu when that option is on.

## Limitations

- **Pro only.**- For security, the Redirect URL must be on your own domain. External links are not used.- Set only one destination per form.

## Troubleshooting

### Nothing happens after login

Check **Redirect** is selected in Add Action and that the Redirect URL is filled in.

### Visitors land on the wrong page

Paste the full address of the page from your own site, including https://.
