Login redirect not working on Joomla 5.4 (T4 System Plugin 2.5.3)

4creator

Hello,

I am using Joomla 5.4 with T4 Blank Template Bs5 version 1.3.0 and T4 System Plugin version 2.5.3.

I found that after logging in, users are always redirected to their profile page, even when the login menu item is configured to redirect to “Home”.

When I replaced the plugin with version 2.4.7, the redirect worked correctly again.

Could you please check if this is a known issue in version 2.5.x?

Thank you for your assistance.

P.S.
I noticed that the changelog on the T4 Framework download page only includes information up to version 2.5.1,
and there is currently no description for versions 2.5.2 and 2.5.3.

4creator Hello

You can try this tweak:
1/ Backup this file: [joomla-root]/plugins/system/t4/themes/base/html/com_users/login/default_login.php
2/ Replace with this file (unzip first)

default-loginphp.zip

Hi saguaros,

Thank you for providing the patched file.
I’ve downgraded to version 2.4.7, which doesn’t have the reported issue, so I can’t test it immediately.
I’ll run the tests within the next few days and share my feedback.
Please wait a little while.

Thanks!

Let me know if you need any further help then 😉

Hi saguaros,

My issue was solved!
The fixed file works perfectly — thank you for your kind and quick support.

If my earlier feedback helped improve the T4 System Plugin 2.5.3, I'm really glad to hear that.

Thanks!

I would like to share some findings regarding the Login Form redirect behavior in T4.

After updating the T4 System Plugin from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4, the issue reappeared:
the Login Form menu item always redirects to the user profile, and the “Menu Item Login Redirect” setting is ignored.

I noticed that in T4 System Plugin 2.5.4, the following file appears to have reverted to its previous state:
plugins/system/t4/themes/base/html/com_users/login/default_login.php

This file no longer generates a proper hidden "return" value for the login form, which causes Joomla to fall back to com_users/profile after login.

In my case, I worked around the issue by overriding the file in:
t4_bs5_blank/html/com_users/login/default_login.php
and adding an explicit hidden return field based on the Login Form menu parameters.
With this override in place, the Login Form redirect works as expected again.

However, since this issue seems to have been addressed before (at least partially) and then reintroduced in 2.5.4, it might be better to fix this at the framework level rather than requiring each site to add a manual override.

I wanted to share this in case it helps identify a regression or missing change in the T4 System Plugin.
