When a user gets to a post or a page that says "You must be logged in to post a comment."
and they click the link to log in ...
after the login prompt, they are redirected to their user profile page ... this is an awful path! some users can hunt and find the link on top to return to the site - but NO ONE can simply return to the prior comments page (where they wanted to post the comment in the first place.
This is awfully user-unfriendly, and most users will just abort their attempt to post that comment.
Is there a way to get from the WpDiscuz "You must be logged in to post a comment" back to the actually comment screen?
PS -
Even THIS site's commenting system is AWFUL !! Wow ... wow. wow. I went to this page - typed my comment - clicked submit. The prompt said I had to register and redirected me to a form. after the form, i had to wait for a login email. I logged in... (No where do I redirect back to my in-progress comment! I HAD TO RE ENTER THE ENTIRE COMMENT!!!).
I would like to find a way to use WpDiscuz so that THIS does not happen to my users!! (they would NEVER leave comments if it were this hard!). Thanks!

Hi CJ Cornell,
This is not WooDiscuz redirection and this is not being controlled by WooDiscuz. This is a WooCommerce hard hooking action. It's being controlled and redirected by WooCommerce or other User profile plugin (if you have any). WooDiscuz don't have any action during the login and redirection processes.
We'll check this, and if there will be any window to control this we'll add some solution to return back users.

I appreciate the quick response ... but i cannot believe no one else (and or you guys) see this as a huge issue. There are indeed other WP driven sites that allow for logins to return to the site (at leats the home page! if not the page where I started). Hopefully you can find a way to address this issue. Thanks!

So have you fixed this problem?
Can't be having commenters going to customer account login page in woocommerce after they register to leave a comment.

No ... it's still a big problem.

i see this as a huge issue too. The thing is that the other plugin "WPDISCUZ" has no problem since it redirects to the same page after logging in the user. So now i am using WPDISCUZ plugin alone
