That seems to do the trick. Thanks for the work-around!

You can specify where you want the person to be redirected to after login adding it to the wp-login.php URL, like this:

http://yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=/login-welcome-page

I don't know if that doesn't work when you played with the member's capabilities, but I just tried it with my admin account and the redirection worked, so I'm pretty sure it will for your users too.

I hope that solves your problem.

Additional info...

I was able to get the Board members to redirect to the Welcome page by reducing Board capabilities to: Access s2member level0, Access s2member level1, Access s2member level2, Manage polls, Read, Upload files, Publish posts.

Seems like when I removed "Edit published posts" the override problem went away. What I'd like to know, of course, is how to build a privileged user without losing the Welcome page ability.

Capabilities override Welcome page setting

2011-03-29T08:00:25-05:00

Greetings and thanks for the great plugin. I am using it to build a site for a homeowners association.
We have two levels above public access: Resident and Board.

I am trying to customize the capabilities of these levels so that Board members can add posts, edit pages, add users, etc. -- a subset of the Admin dashboard.

To do this, I have tried these two plugins: "User Role Editor" and "Capabilities Manager." Each one essentially alters the WP user capabilities table.

My redirect for all logged in users is to the "/residents-home" page. This works fine for the "Resident" level which only has the following capabilities: Access s2member level0, Access s2member level1, Read

Problem: My "Board" members, however, go straight to their dashboard when they login (instead of the desired residents-home page). I do not have any special redirection code assigned to this level other than the Login Welcome Page.

Board member capabilities include the following: Access s2member level0, Access s2member level1, Access s2member level2, Edit published posts, Manage polls, Read, Add users, Edit Posts, Moderate comments, Upload files, Edit users, Edit pages, Publish posts.

Q: Can you tell me which of the capabilities assigned to Board members triggering an override of the s2Member Welcome page setting?

Thanks,
Michael
