Login redirect problem

Question

hey i got a slightly weird problem..

i got a form enabling login in certain single's according to the cateory and user level.. it works great but the server which is windows (where the website is hosted on returns the wrong "current page" value

Meaning.. this:

'redirect' => site_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), 

returns this: www.somewebsite.com/sub/sub/?p=100

instead of: www.somewebsite.com/sub/?p=100

This is the actuall form:

          <div class="logincategory">
            <?php wp_login_form( $args );
             $args = array(
            'echo' => true,
            'redirect' => site_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),
            'form_id' => 'loginform',
            'label_username' => __( 'Username' ),
            'label_password' => __( 'Password' ),
            'label_remember' => __( 'Remember Me' ),
            'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In' ),
            'id_username' => 'user_login',
            'id_password' => 'user_pass',
            'id_remember' => 'rememberme',
            'id_submit' => 'wp-submit',
            'remember' => true,
            'value_username' => NULL,
            'value_remember' => false ); ?> 
            </div>

So.. this is a bug of the server which i can't solve directly

so i used

$myCurrentUrl = site_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ); $myCurrentUrltwo = str_replace("www.somewebsite.com/sub/sub/","www.somewebsite.com/sub/", "$myCurrentUrl");

That (when eching) returns the right URL but how do i insert the variable into this command

    'redirect' => site_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), 

Answer 1

based on the changes seen in the diff on this trac ticket: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17243

i've adjusted my redirect to the following

'redirect' => ( is_ssl() ? 'https://' : 'http://' ) . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

and this seems to work for WP when it is in a subfolder. this will be the new default value starting in WP 3.3 and wp_login_form() works for me in 3.3-beta3 without passing any arguments.

so for now i am going to serve up arguments conditionally based on version (maybe overkill)

if ( !version_compare( $wp_version, '3.3-beta3', '>=' ) ) {
    $args = array ( 'redirect' => ( is_ssl() ? 'https://' : 'http://' ) . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
    );
} else {
    $args = array ();
} 

wp_login_form($args);

Answer 2

change your redirect to:

'redirect' => '/' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],

That will then take you to the right location.

Answer 3

Insert it like this:

<?php wp_login_form( $args );
             $args = array(
            'echo' => true,
            'redirect' => $myCurrentUrltwo,
            'form_id' => 'loginform',
            'label_username' => __( 'Username' ),
            'label_password' => __( 'Password' ),
            'label_remember' => __( 'Remember Me' ),
            'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In' ),
            'id_username' => 'user_login',
            'id_password' => 'user_pass',
            'id_remember' => 'rememberme',
            'id_submit' => 'wp-submit',
            'remember' => true,
            'value_username' => NULL,
            'value_remember' => false ); ?> 

Answer 4

i tried that.. i guess the server reWrited on the way to the browser. thanks for all you help.. guys.. i solved it using this:

<?php
header("Status: 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: /sub/index.php?". $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
exit;
?>

That works so i am going to stay with that since the client needed a fast solution.
