Hi,

After a user logs on for the first time and updates some profile details, they are directed to the preferences.php screen.

Is it possible for users to go straight to their dashboard instead of seeing this screen?

Thanks,
Pete

Hi Pete

What is the user login workflow you are using , are you using the self registration with approval authentication plugin where the option to select user profile information has been enabled or have you added custom fields that are required to be filled in?

regards

Hi Pete

Thanks - I tried creating a profile field as required,.

There wasn't an option to in the profile field to redirect to a page and I was take to the profile page - some coding would be required to change this,

regards

Hi Craig, 

For clarification, we are not trying to hide the profile page, just once the required fields have been filled in, the user is taken to a Preferences page.
This preferences page is the one that we would like to skip over, so as the user saves their profile details they are taken directly to the dashboard.

We have the same request.  Any possibilities other than custom programming?
