    So I have developed a rather robust site with GeoDirectory, at http://tristatemanufacturers.com, and as I was going through testing for bugs in prep for launch, I ran into a glaring issue.

    Whenever a new user submits the registration form in the ../gd-login page it immediately redirects to the last page visited with no confirmation message. Ok…a bit confusing — especially considering that a login is required to submit a new listing. Perhaps it should forward to the add listing page?

    Either way, I noticed that whenever logged in, any attempt to go to the ../gd-login page forwards to this URL: ../author/?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_place

    The user is also forwarded to this URL when they log into their account from the ../gd-login page.

    This wouldn’t be a problem if the page didn’t 404. From what it looks like, it looks to be trying to forward to the author page, but it doesn’t place the user’s nicename into the url, such as this: ../author/wecreate/?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_place which does lead to an author page. So, something’s going wrong here.

    Hi Nate,

    if you are not logged in and access the add-listing page, you are redirected to the gd-login page and after logging in you are redirected back to the add-listing page.

    If that’s not happening on your site there is something else that is creating a conflict.

    If you are logged in, you shouldn’t have any link to bring you to the login page. If you do, that’s something you added and it is an error.

    You should use a plugin like this to add a login link to your main navigation https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-menus/ it will allow to send to login page if logged in.

    Thanks

    Aha, see I added a login link in the navigation thinking that users will need an ease of access login, especially if they needed to make a modification to any company profiles they created. They shouldn’t have to go to /wp-admin to login.

    Is there a way to forward to the author page if they login from the /gd-login page, and likewise if they click the “Login” link in the navigation if they are already logged in?

    I think the forward 404 is a bug with some setups, we made a change which should fix it and should be released in the next few days.

    I’m having the same issue on the author page. /author/?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_place

    Looking forward to the update.
