    Hi there,

    Ill try keep this simple. Basically I have downloaded WP-Members plugin and activated it. I have also created a register page and a log in page and a members area page, all of which are working. The registration works perfectly! My problem lies in the log in. Once I register a new user and attempt to log in at the log in page, I am presented with a blank screen after clicking “log in”.

    I was having a read of the WP-Members manual and at the bottom there is some information on Filter hooks? There are two filters to add to the site which I gather tell the site where to direct the user once logged in. I however do not know where to put this php code! Im using a child theme so do I create my own functions.php and do something in that (and if so, what?) or do I put this filter in the parent themes functions.php?

    Please help! Thanks in advanced.

    Sorry about the delayed response – I didn’t see this until now.

    The redirect filters you mentioned are for if you want/need to redirect a user to a specific place upon login. The normal login process does not require these. But to answer the question on where to put hooks, yes, they would go in your functions.php file. They could go in the child or the parent and still work, but you should load things in your child theme so that if you update the parent theme, you don’t lose your changes.

    As for why you would get a blank screen when logging in, that is a little odd. The login process does occur when WP is initialized prior to sending anything to the browser. I would suggest that you first test this without any other plugins activated to see of you have some type of conflict.
