Mhossey Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Site URL: https://www.haas-house.com/ I have my membership area setup. I've added the login option to my sites Navigation. I put my site in test mode then try to login with the customer email/PW I setup. I'm successfully logged in, but I'm not redirected anywhere... if that makes sense. Like I'll see the customer account info to the right, and the membership navigation replaces the original sites navigation, but it's weird that I'm still on the regular homepage until I choose a membership area page from the navigation. I have my membership area homepage set to a normal page (I think I read it can't be a portfolio or external link), so I don't know why it's not re-directing there. Any ideas? To be clear, customers can still access the membership content once they login, it's just a weird way for them to have to do it. In the image uploaded that's my regular homepage behind the account info. Which is NOT in the membership area Navigation or pages structure. jallory and nicolettely 2 Link to comment
Solution paul2009 Posted March 25, 2022 Solution Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) If users are using the built-in login option in the header, this take them to their member account, not the member content. To send them directly to a specific member site, consider providing a clear link to the Member Site's homepage. For example, in the screenshot below, the Yoga Home page: You'll find the page's URL by checking the settings for that page. Anyone without a member account (or who is not logged in) will see this page: Did this help?

Mhossey Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 I was using the login button. It did take me to the MA homepage when I used the sign-in button from the email. Are you saying they have to keep that email every time they want to properly login? I thought that's what the login option was for. It's like the login option works 90% of the way nicolettely 1 Link to comment

AaronC Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Site URL: https://www.diallekt.com After a member signs into their account from my website homepage, their customer account panel opens up on the right side of the screen. However, it doesn't redirect them anywhere - they stay on the homepage of my website. Is there any way to make it so that when a member signs in, it redirects them to the homepage of the specific Members Area instead? JSinclair and jallory 2 Link to comment

As mentioned above, if a member uses the default link in the header to login, they'll be sent to their account page. To send them to a specific member site, you must provide them with a link to the member site. This is the URL of the homepage of the relevant member site. If you need help finding this, please let me know. Edited August 30, 2023 by paul2009 Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.

Wouldn't that just take them to the access denied screen? Link to comment

matthewperlman1 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I have a login page on my members area and after they login, it just takes them to the paywalled screen but not to the members area. Link to comment
Nolanp123 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 We are having the same issue where a member is logged in, but is not being redirected to the member area and it is saying its only for members, but they are members. Link to comment
Ellagrace Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Could you remove or disable the login button from your navigation tab, and have a tab in your navigation to direct them to the members area instead? Link to comment
Tony525 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hey I just had the same issue and I was trying to figure it out , and I found something works fine for it , after you build your membership area add block on you home page and choose Digital product And then from settings choose the member area name and it will show up a sign up block so any visitor will sign up from it it will take them to the member area homepage and then they can switch between pages from the same location of the main navigation ( but it won’t show the visitor main navigation) it will show the member area main navigation I hope that was helpful regards MRD Link to comment
ChrisSalas Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Gosh this is really a bummer. The main issue is that I actually have multiple member areas depending on what they have subscribed to (what plan of our main service AND any other add-ons like training). It is very confusing for users to be on the home page, see a button (I created) that says: "Log In", the log in and remain on that same page with the same Log In button (along with a sign up one). Has anyone managed to resolve this issue? @paul2009 - I noticed you suggested (for example) making the URL to that button I created (not the default log in one) to take them to the member centre home page (which would them prompt them to log in). This would be an OKish "workaround" if I only had ONE member area. Thoughts? - Anyhelp would be massively appreciated as this is resulting in a very poor user experience ATM 😞 --- The screenshot below is what a logged in member sees at the moment. Link to comment
xmlgenie Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 So this is a bit confusing. If a user goes to the home page of your membership site and you are not logged in or are not a member, the site displays the paywall page. Telling the visitor you need to login to access this part of the web site. I used the URL slug membersarea for my members site home page, but while it says <my domain name >/membersarea in the URl It's actually displaying the paywall page with the error messages. In the website builder, you'll find the page "paywall" under "pricing plans" in the sidebar on the left. Under your member site. This page is not editable apart from the headline and description fields. You can put a link in the description field to your membersite's homepage. Clicking the link if you're not a member will redirect you to the member sign-up page, where you can choose a pricing plan, sign up as a member, and then access your membersites home page. The links in the description aren't underlined on my site, so I would recommend formatting them so they stand out. Each Membersite and digital product has it's own paywall so you can configure the page to reflect what you're signing up for. Link to comment
victorlealpontes Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Does anyone has find a solution even with code injection? This Paywall page is really terrible for my funnel. It would be great to custom this paywall as all other pages. Link to comment
u2ps40 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Something is very wrong with this experience. As everyone is saying, when I create a members area, I also create a members area homepage. here is the pop-up window for that homepage. It clearly says, "Your member site's homepage is the landing experience for your members when they log into their accounts." Simply put, in using the template, when we have a link or button that says "log in" and they actually log in, they should be redirected to a the Member Site Homepage. Are we saying in this forum that this is to be reported as a bug? jallory and Nick81 2 Link to comment

From all the settings, this should work, but it doesn't. 😞 I can't even find a place to add the Member Homepage to the Member Account menu. Link to comment
