I’m trying to pass some variables through a query string in the url from the register page to the add listing page. Because of the redirect I’m having a hard time figuring out where to put this if I put the ?var1=testing&var2=testing2 after the redirect I get a syntax error. Can anyone point me the right direction?

Hi Danielle,

this is really beyond support. I’ll ask to the developers if they can look into it, but I can’t promise anything.

Thanks

You cannot use like this
```
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($redirect_to);?><?php echo ?var1=testing&var2=testing2;?>
```
You have to use this function.

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_query_arg/

So in your case it should be
```
value="<?php echo add_query_arg( array(
    'var1' => 'testing',
    'var2' => 'testing2',
), htmlspecialchars($redirect_to) ); ?>"
```
I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve is gonna work or not. But good luck.

This didn’t exactly work but I think I know why. I need to edit this line of code:
```
 if (isset($_REQUEST['redirect_add_listing']) && $_REQUEST['redirect_add_listing'] != '') {
 
                       $redirect_to = $_REQUEST['redirect_add_listing'];
                    }
```
in geodirectorygeodirectory-functionssignup_function.php

I’m assuming I can’t just copy this into my child theme and make modifications right?

Yes you cannot copy and modify that file.

Sorry about that

Is there a filter to remove that redirect from signup_function.php?

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve but you can use the filter here to do whatever you want after signup/signin

Thanks,
