Redirect to Homepage after login

[remove]

I hope someone can help.

In development fase, I would like to hide the homepage (also for google) with login fields. When a user(client) logs in they redirect to the homepage.

What is the approach in WP. Is it build in admin or do I need a script? Where do I start?

If all you want is to place your site in maintenance mode, there is module for that. Check in the modules directory..http://mods.pw/1W

WP? Don't you mean PW ...

Oops! WP = PW

Thx, I will try this module.

I haven't added it to the modules directory just yet.

The reason I built this, rather than using the Maintenance Mode module was:

• I didn't want the "Maintenance Mode" badge showing up on the site since it really is for development before a site has ever been live.
• I didn't want users redirected to the PW login page because I did want visitors to see the login page. I know the module has the option to redirect to a custom page, which you could use to make a front-end login form, but that seemed more complex than I needed (and I think other PW devs might also need).
• Because of the way this module replaces Page::render with the login form, visitors can be sent to any page on the site, and once they login that page will reload with its full content - no messing around finding the page again, and no need for sending page ids through the login process to redirect back.
• This module also lets you configure the message that is displayed along with the login form.

I don't see this as a replacement for Maintenance mode at all. It has less options and is not really appropriate for scheduled maintenance time - it doesn't send a 503 - although Maintenance Mode doesn't do that either.

 

If you try it, let me know how it works out for you.

FANTASTIC!

I have tested your module. It works perfectly and like it a lot, simple and effective. 

Thank you for sharing!
