REDIRECT AFTER ACTIVATION FOR POST REGISTRATION

Hi I’ve been going in circles trying to figure this out. I’m trying to create two different redirects. One after they register and receive the email activation clicking back to the site and another when they login via the popup.

I’ve been using peter’s login redirect but it only seems to half work, it works for the popup login by participant but it doesn’t work at all for the post registration. It’s like something is blocking it from working correctly

This makes it hard to add a thank you page with what my members are supposed to do after activation. Any suggestions on making this easier. thank you!
