Hi all. Thanks for your help. In the end, Chat GPT came to the rescue and the solution worked. Just posting here for background…
Me… Sorry, I am getting very confused. The problem is that after someone submits the registration form, they then have to respond to a validation email prior to their being logged onto the site. It is then that I would like the redirect to the /NHSSurvey page
Chat GPT. Got it! The key challenge here is handling the email validation process in Wix, which introduces a delay before the user is fully registered and logged in. To solve this, we need to set up the following flow:
Chat GPT answered, but it was still confusing to me (If anyone wants the answer - happy to share)
Me. Please could you explain exactly where I enter the above code?
Chat GPT. Absolutely! Here’s a detailed explanation of where to place each piece of the code in Wix Studio, step by step.
Code Placement Overview
Wix Studio’s code is split into Page Code, Site Code, and Backend Code. Each has its specific role:
- Page Code: Code specific to an individual page.
- Site Code: Global code that applies across your entire site (e.g., redirects or user authentication checks).
- Backend Code: Secure server-side code for sensitive operations.
Now, here’s where you place the code:
1. Registration Form Logic (Step 2 Code)
This code handles the user’s registration and stores the redirect path for after validation.
Where to Place:
- Go to the page where your registration form is located.
- Open the Code Panel at the bottom of the page in Wix Studio.
- Paste the Registration Form Code into the Page Code section.
Example Code for the Registration Page:
import { session } from 'wix-storage';
import wixUsers from 'wix-users';
$w.onReady(function () {
$w("#signUpButton").onClick(async () => {
const email = $w("#emailInput").value;
const password = $w("#passwordInput").value;
try {
// Register the user
await wixUsers.register(email, password);
// Store the redirect path for later use
session.setItem("redirectAfterValidation", "/NHSSurvey");
// Show a message to check their email
$w("#successMessage").text = "Check your email to verify your account.";
$w("#successMessage").show();
} catch (error) {
console.error("Registration error:", error);
$w("#errorMessage").text = error.message;
$w("#errorMessage").show();
}
});
});
2. Post-Validation Redirect (Step 3 Code)
This code handles the user’s redirection after they validate their email and log in.
Where to Place:
- Go to the Site Code section:
- Open the left-hand panel in Wix Studio.
- Under “Code Files,” locate Site Code (
masterPage.js).
- Paste the Post-Validation Redirect Code into this file.
Example Code for Site Code (masterPage.js):
import wixUsers from 'wix-users';
import wixLocation from 'wix-location';
import { session } from 'wix-storage';
$w.onReady(function () {
const user = wixUsers.currentUser;
// Check if the user just logged in and has a stored redirect path
if (user.loggedIn) {
const redirectPath = session.getItem("redirectAfterValidation");
if (redirectPath) {
// Clear the stored redirect to avoid re-triggering
session.removeItem("redirectAfterValidation");
// Redirect the user to the stored path
wixLocation.to(redirectPath);
}
}
});
3. Enable Email Verification
This isn’t code but a setting in your Wix dashboard. To enable email verification:
- Go to your Wix Editor.
- Click Settings > Roles & Permissions > Member Signup.
- Turn on Require Email Verification.
How the Code Works
-
Registration Page Code:
- Registers the user and stores
/NHSSurvey in session storage for later redirection.
- Informs the user to check their email for a validation link.
-
Site Code (masterPage.js):
- Checks if a logged-in user has a pending redirect after email validation.
- Redirects the user to
/NHSSurvey if the redirect path was stored.
-
Email Verification Setting:
- Ensures the user cannot log in until they validate their email.
Testing the Implementation
-
Test Registration:
- Fill out the registration form and ensure the success message appears.
- Check the session storage using the browser’s developer tools to confirm
/NHSSurvey is stored.
-
Test Email Validation:
- Open the email validation link.
- After logging in, ensure the user is redirected to
/NHSSurvey.

That was all chat GPT, though I am sure ‘it’ was using answers some of you might already have given. Just like magic… Anway - the solution worked. Thanks.
