Redirection after Sign up possible?

[promco34]

Hi
I like this Plugin and use it on a few sites
Only thing which I have not found out is:
When somebody signs up via the Newsletter Widget Form they get redirected to a Confirmation page (blank apart from a white Box with the Text etc that they have signed up etc etc.) That is fine but the only way to get rid of that page is to use the Browser Back Button. The same (similar problem is when the confirm the subscription they end up on Page with white Box confirming their Subscription. Is there no way to have a redirect to Homepage or something similar so that one does not need to use the Browser Back Button?

Hi, on subscription steps panel, general tab, you should configure a dedicated page to show the confirmation message, so you can get rid of that default white box. You can even set a destination url for the confirmation message, but I suggest to start with a dedicated page before make a complex architecture.

Thank you
That works sort of
I created a Post for initial sign up confirmation

That works fine
but the post I created for the Sign Up / Welcome shows like this
(with name etc in brackets)

Hi a static page cannot contain the Newsletter tags, they won’t be replaced. But you can use that page, put inside the [newsletter] short code and it will display the confirmation message automatically. Even if you set a redirect from the confirmation message, that link will be appended with some parameters used by the [newsletter] short code to show the message configured on subscription steps panel.

Yes, we should write a tutorial for that…
