Passing query string variables through email verification

I generate a few pieces of information when a user registers that I would like to pass through to the landing page after they verify their email address. I tried appending the email verification link with a few query string vars, but they get dropped in the redirect to my landing page. Is there a hook I can use after the email address is verified and before the user is redirected to the landing page that would allow me to read the query string and add them to the redirect URL? For example,

Email Verification Link
https://www.mywebsite.com/?wpforms_activate=dXNlcl9pZD05MCZ1c2VyX2VtY=&user_code=KQQTQ

Post Verification URL
https://www.mywebsite.com/landingpage/?user_code=KQQTQ

Thank you.

Is this using the WP-Members confirmation link process, or are you asking about how to pick up passed variables when a redirect kicks in (and if so, what is the redirect hook you’re using)?

Thank you for responding so quickly.

According to wpforms they are using “default WordPress functionality” to verify new users.

New users submit a form, receive an email to verify their address, the link in the email is similar to the first example in my post, the use clicks on the link, and they end up on my confirmation page (similar to the second example in my post).

I would imagine there is a WordPress function that process the verification and redirects the user to a confirmation page, which I’ve configured in wpforms. I’m hoping there’s a hook available for me to read query string variables off the verification URL and append them to the confirmation URL.

I hope that makes more sense.

Thanks again.

Unfortunately, that makes it less clear… Or… if I understand correctly, the form is a WPForms form, and the activation process then is the WP activation process. In that case, it’s not really a WP-Members question because WP-Members wouldn’t involve itself in the process.

The only way I see WP-Members involved in the process is if a WP-Members hook were being used to redirect the user. Note that all WP-Members hooks are prefixed by “wpmem_” so if there’s a redirect involved that has a hook without “wpmem_” prefixing it, then it’s completely outside the plugin at that point.
