CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

This seems more like a WP question and you might have better luck in the WP support forums (which are quite good from what i've seen / heard)

basically you want your users to be redirected to the CiviCRM dashboard when they login into the backend. There might be a wp-plugin for that

Grant,

The following steps should provide what you want. You should install the Members plugin so you can create custom roles. It is not necessary but it makes it cleaner.

-Create a custom role in WordPress for your CiviCRM users and give it access_civicrm permissions
-Create your users with this role.
-In the CiviCRM Administrative Console select access control under users and permissions.
-Click on the WordPress Access Control.
-You will see a grid where you can assign Civi Access to specific roles. Check the permissions these users should have.

You may have to go back and forth between the WordPress roles & the WordPress ACL in CiviCRM to get it just the way you want it.

I use a plugin called Peter's Login Redirect to customize the landing page after login so users can be directed directly to CiviCRM. You can even send them to a specific section such as reports or events.

Hope this helps,
