User logins

Mike, I am trying to create an interface for users who are already subscribed, but who are currently logged out.

I ended up installing a separate plugin to handle logins and I added a line that says “Already a member? Login here.” to the Registration page that the Membership plugin created.

I feel like I should have been able to do this without adding a separate login plugin but I could not get Membership to handle this elegantly.

For example, on my teaser pages, I want users to be taken back to the page they were on that enticed them to create an account in the first place instead of a welcome page. Some of the login plugins I found have this sort of functionality. Maybe the Membership developers should consider adding some of these features. Or maybe I am overlooking something? I hate to have to rely on multiple plugins like this that may or may not work well together in the future.

Mike, the reason I did not want to go that route is that I did not want subscribers being taken to the wp dashboard – ever – but especially when they were in the middle of reading an article. Membership offers the ability to protect content behind the more tag, which is great. To continue reading, please subscribe. Perfect. Only once they are subscribed I would like to actually allow them to “continue reading. The dashboard should not be involved at all.

Yes, I tried a couple of them. I am using theme-my-login right now. I strongly feel that redirection is something that would benefit the membership plugin. I appreciate your help.
