# How to Redirect After Login in Elementor Login Form?

## 

- WP Login & Register widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro sends logged-in visitors to a dashboard, account page, or members-only area when Redirect After Login is turned on and a full destination URL is entered.
- WP Login & Register widget reloads the same page when Redirect After Login is off, and wrong credentials show the Validation text from Notification Message, by default “Ops! Wrong username or password!”.
- WP Login & Register widget keeps logged-in visitors remembered for 14 days in the test even with Remember Me unticked, and Google and Facebook sign-in buttons use a separate Redirect URL field in Social Login/Register.

After a successful login, the login form reloads the page it is on. Sending members straight to a dashboard, an account page or a members-only area saves them a click.

The **Redirect After Login** option of the **WP Login & Register** widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor sets that destination.

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Pro** — the WP Login & Register widget is only part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. The free plugin lists it as a locked Pro widget and does not add it to Elementor.- **Widget to enable:** WP Login & Register, switched on under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**.- The page you redirect to should already exist, so test the link in a browser first.

## How to Redirect Users After Login

- Add the **WP Login & Register** widget to your login page.- In **Forms Layout**, set **Type** to **Login** or **Login and Register**.- Open **Login Options** and turn on **Redirect After Login**.- Paste the full address of the destination page into the link field under the switch.- Publish the page, then log in from a private browser window to test it.

## How It Behaves

- After the correct username or email and password, the visitor is sent to the address you entered.- With the switch off, the same page reloads. Logged-in visitors then see the **My Account Menu** (avatar, name, **Edit Profile** and **Logout**) instead of the form, unless you turn that menu off.- A wrong password or unknown username does not redirect. The form shows the **Validation text** from **Notification Message** (by default “Ops! Wrong username or password!”).- Google and Facebook sign-in buttons have their own **Redirect URL** field in **Social Login/Register**; this switch only covers the login form.

## Limitations

- **The field accepts any address.** The note under it says only your own domain can be used, but in our test a login redirected to an external site. Only enter pages you trust, preferably on your own site.- **Logins are always remembered.** The login cookie lasted 14 days in our test even with **Remember Me** unticked, so the checkbox does not change how long a visitor stays logged in.- The widget is part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro only.

## Troubleshooting

### The page only reloads after login

Check that **Redirect After Login** is on and that the link field under it is not empty, then update the page.

### I get sent somewhere unexpected

Open the link field and check the address. The widget uses it exactly as entered, including other domains.
