To redirect users to the referrer page after login in WordPress, use the LoginPress Login Widget (Pro). After logging in, users return to the page they were reading instead of landing on the admin dashboard.

That keeps readers in your content without interruption, which matters most on membership sites and blogs where people register accounts.

To redirect WooCommerce users after login, use the LoginPress Login Redirects add-on or add a code snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file. WordPress has no built-in way to do this, and the add-on lets you set redirects per user or per role without code.

In this post, you will find the five steps to add CAPTCHA, with screenshots for each one.
