I have seen this question come up before, but I can’t quite solve the problem at my end with existing answers.

1) The confirmation email going to the user after signing up comes out as: cyrkabiz@box359.bluehost.com (as you can see I am with bluehost too) and this email address is NOT so pretty! Can I change it to my domain name with a couple of simple steps? Please?

2) Can I send my users straight to Buddypress Profile page after they long in? I would like to avoid the WordPress back-end here and only use Buddypress’s interface and pages, because they are much prettier and easier for users to deal with.

I think once I solve these two things, I will then live happily ever after

Thank you so much;

Vida

I just solved problem number 1 this week (by calling bluehost- they fixed it for me over the phone in under 10 minutes), but am still having your same problem number two!

Any help??

There’s a small function floating around in the forum that should help you:

function oci_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){

$redirect_to = bp_core_get_userurl($user->id);

return $redirect_to;

}

add_filter('login_redirect', 'oci_login_redirect', 10, 3);

Just put that in your mu-plugins/bp-custom.php.

I believe this is an outdated method. Is there a newer technique?

Arx Poetica did you find your answer?

@damainman this is an oldish thread and unlikely to provoke a response. did you have an issue/problem? If so them post a new topic as it will get a better response, having first searched the site as this particular issue may well have been covered more recently.

I got into same situation and found solution based on @jotem ‘s filter
You can use bp_core_get_userlink($user->id) instead of bp_core_get_userurl($user->id). But its lil bit tricky.
bp_core_get_userlink ($user_id) function returns anchor tag and echo it on the screen. So the login redirection process is halted .

Instead of that,

---

function rt_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){
$redirect_to = bp_core_get_user_domain($user->id);
return $redirect_to;
}
add_filter(‘login_redirect’, ‘rt_login_redirect’, 20, 3);

---

bp_core_get_user_domain() function will give the profile url without echoing anything.
One more important thing is priority in add_filter of login_redirect. Make sure that your function executes @ the last.

One more tricky situation is many time business logic is such a that the redirection process must be done depending on the type of the user. In that case, you have $user->id in rt_login_redirect(). Once you get the user_id, you can put business logic and modify $redirect_to according to your need!

P.S. Trying to echo any value in this function will give u output but the redirection process will not complete.
