#5754 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Registration should not automatically redirect to wordpress.org

Description

Certain pages on login.wordpress.org will redirect to wordpress.org when they're viewed unexpectedly.

The page that raised this, was the registration confirmation screen, but a better example that's easily visible is https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword which redirects to wordpress.org without any suggestion as to why.

In 11045:

Login: Add an additional layer of redirect location rememberance to the login site.

This should help the login site recall the redirect_to location even when Jetpack's brute-force protections kick in.

See #5754.

  • Owner set to dd32
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

In 11046:

Login: When a user is logged in, or an account creation link has already been used, redirect the user more appropriately to a page explaining the issue.

This removes a "random" redirect on certain Login pages that would result in the user redirected to the WordPress.org homepage, or support forums, with no further explanation.

Fixes #5754.

In 11049:

Login: Consistently use log in as a verb, and login as a noun. Same for log out.

See #5754.
