I have an issue with the profile edit page redirection.
in the Member Profile Modifications option I have asked to redirect to the welcome login page.
There on the welcome login page I have put the short code for profile editing into the page.Now when users log in they first get redirected to the page where they can edit their profile. ie: the welcome page.
I dont want this to happen . I want it this way That they get redirected to my main site url . I know how to do this. But when users on the top left later click on the edit profile link on that hover bar in WP they goto a blank page . How can I redirect them to the profile edit page if I place the short code for that on a seperate page which I dont show normally on the site and show that page only when users click on the profile edit link.
Please explain.
Thanks

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit confused. Could you please explain again what your problem is? If you could use screenshots or give the URLs to pages where I can see what you have, it'd be great. Thanks.

if you could just register here and see the process I think you will get it what I mean
go here and register yourself-
http://www.panamarelocationseminars.com ... n=register
then login and you will get redirected to the main page okay.
On the top there will be a hover bar to logout and to edit profile on the left side on top hover bar.
Then click on edit profile and you wont be able to edit since blank page.
Now if in the welcome page I select my welcome page and embed the short code for profile page and then use that page then after login ppl come to the edit profile page directly which I didnt want.
So can you tell me that the users after login goto the main page on the site ie:Home
and then when they click edit ptofile they get top edit profile on a seperate page where I put a short code for that
Thanks

Ah, I think I understand now. I suggest you just remove the bar from the top and then edit your theme's navigation if needed. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/se ... +admin+bar

If you put the profile in the Login Welcome Page, then each time they login they'll see it, and the Login Welcome Page would be in your navigation already, which they can use to go back there.

so you mean to say I should use one of those plugins and remove the top bar. Okay suppose I do that then after that when my users want to edit their profile I will have to put the short code on some page and have it shown to them is it?
Cant I have a menu on the right which shows only for logged in users?
something which says a/c menu
and then edit profile logout options all are there?

Yes, you can have a link in your sidebar pointing to the page you create for the user's profile, and show it or not depending on the login status using conditionals. WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Advanced/PHP Conditionals
