Redirect Login To The Referring Page Rather Than A Specific Page

Please be advised that there’s currently no out-of-the-box option to do this in BuddyBoss. Modifications are typically considered custom work, but we are making an exception in this case. Kindly check our Support Policy here: https://www.buddyboss.com/support-policy/.

To ensure that users are redirected back to the referring page after logging in, you can use the login_redirect filter to handle the redirection. Kindly try adding the following code in your theme files:

1. Go to Appearance > Theme File Editor

2. Under “Select theme to edit”, choose (BuddyBoss Child/Whatever theme is active), then click “Select”.

3. Below Theme Files, select Theme Functions (functions.php).

4. Append the following just before the closing PHP tag “?>”:

function custom_login_redirect($redirect_to, $request, $user) { // Define your custom URL $custom_url = 'https://yourcustomurl.com/custom-page'; // Check if there is a referer URL if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) { return $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; } // Use custom URL if no referer is available return $custom_url; } add_filter('login_redirect', 'custom_login_redirect', 10, 3);

NOTE: Please make a backup of your site.

Replace ‘https://yourcustomurl.com/custom-page‘ with the URL you want to redirect users to by default. You need to add page link on $custom_url = 

5. Click “Update File”.

Note: Any modifications are considered as custom work already. Know more about our Support Policy here: https://www.buddyboss.com/support-policy/
