stuck on welcome page when logged in

[karmatiger]

when I go to my site, which is using the Home Register welcome page, and click on “already a member? please log in here” it pops up the log in form, then says I’m already logged in and to refresh. But when it refreshes, rather than taking me into the site it just goes back to the welcome page.

This isn’t acceptable. It’s non-intuitive. If someone is already logged in and ends up on the main page, clicking “already logged in?” should actually give access to the site. Instead I’m going in  circles and can’t get past the welcome page. Please don’t give me a “type [url/otherpagename.php] into your browser] as a reply because my members who may encounter the same problem won’t know to do that, nor should they have to.

If already logged in, the user should be taken to the content not the welcome page.

Hello, seems like a cache issue as that doesnt happen by default. Do you have any cache plugin or cdn?

Nope, it wasn’t a cache issue. It was that buddypress was set to not redirect by default.

Since it took me an hour to post the first question and I can’t find a link to easily post another I’ll ask here:

– how do you put the user avatar on the right of the username in the main menu, instead of on the left?

– the user avatar doesn’t show up if the wordpress bar is enabled. I added the script to hide the wordpress bar from all users except admins, but when I’m logged in as an admin my account’s avatar blanks out in the top menu

– how can I make the profile toolbar icons smaller? Can I change the order in which they’re displayed?

– how can I make the profile display the profile/about me info by default instead of the activity?

oh, for anyone else having the redirect problem:

scroll all the way down your dashboard menu to Theme Options (the one generated by Kleo, not the one under Appearances)

then it’s Theme Options -> Miscellaneous -> Homepage Redirect

by default it’s disabled. Set it to Redirect to current user or author page

Hello 🙂
– how do you put the user avatar on the right of the username in the main menu, instead of on the left?

Not available right now

– the user avatar doesn’t show up if the wordpress bar is enabled. I added the script to hide the wordpress bar from all users except admins, but when I’m logged in as an admin my account’s avatar blanks out in the top menu

It may be an error with the script you added. Does it happens after deleting the script?

– how can I make the profile toolbar icons smaller? Can I change the order in which they’re displayed?

This plugin allows it http://www.buddyboss.com/purchase/buddypress-reorder-tabs/ For the icons, use this css ( add it to style.css of child theme )

COPY CODE

#buddypress div#item-nav ul li a:before {
    font-size: 30px;
}

– how can I make the profile display the profile/about me info by default instead of the activity?

“It may be an error with the script you added”

It’s your own script, created by 7th Queen and presented on this site as the solution to hide the wordpress admin bar from all users except admins. If the script is the problem, perhaps you should fix it.

[karmatiger]

Also you have a typo in the navigation tabs. It says “My Articless” (with two esses). Because one can’t easily change this bar, if at all, one can’t fix the typo. There ought to be an option to rename the tabs anyhow.

[Laura]

You can change all strings using Loco Translate plugin. We create scripts but with every plugin update or theme update, or maybe just a third party plugin, could create an error in the script.
You could try to use a plugin that does that

Can’t you just tell me where the strings are generated within your Kleo structure so I may override them with my child theme?

“Try this third party plugin” seems to be a common reply from you; but for what should be simple things like this, it should either work out of the box or be able to be fixed with code rather than adding plugins which can later crash the site with inconsistent updates.

[Laura]

Hello, is better to add the plugin, translate the strings and then delete the plugin, than editing theme files that may change later so you will need to do the same again and again

I used Loco and rewrote pages of buddypress and kleo framework text strings. All were saved.

a) none of them are affecting my site. It still shows the original strings

b) none of them are the ‘My Articless’ string with that annoying typo you ship the theme with.

[karmatiger]

All right, this one is on me. The My Articless typo is actually generated by the Social Articles plugin, NOT Kleo. I’m sorry for giving you grief about something that wasn’t your fault.

Hello, hope you got this resolved 🙂 Let me know if you need anything
