redirect_to param in auth0 shortcode not working

[maxi07]

Describe the problem

The auth0 wordpress shortcode redirection param does not work for me.

What was the expected behavior?

I added the redirect_to param into the shortcode to redirect the user to a specific site after successfull authenfication. But after signing in, i get redirected to the main page.

Reproduction

The shortcode used is [auth0 form_title="Please login on my WP blog" redirect_to="https://mycustomsite.com"]. The formtitle is being changed, so the params seem to work in general.

Environment

• Version of this library used: Login by Auth0 4.5.0
• Wordpress: 6.1.1

Hi @maxi07 👋 Thanks for reaching out! So, I've tested the shortcut with 4.5.0, but unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue you're seeing. In my test:

[auth0 form_title="Please login on my WP blog" redirect_to="https://wordpress.test/homepage"]

Correctly redirects to the URL specified. Can you confirm you are assigning redirect_to to an absolute URL served by the same WordPress site, at the same domain?

[maxi07]

Hi @evansims, no the redirect_to currently points to an external site. Does the redirect param only only work with sites from the same domain?

[evansims]

Hi @maxi07 — that's correct, the parameter needs to point to a path on the same domain.

Thanks, I couldn't find that information in the documentation.
