Creating a member dashboard is a popular option for the After Login page. This allows you to select what a member sees right after they login. But, it's also possible to set an After Logout page. This means you can select what a member is shown right after they logout of your site. Using the After Logout page in WishList Member opens up a few possibilities.
This gives you the ability to display what you would like to members who have just finished their session. You can display a thank you message with some helpful links as they exit or even redirect the members to another one of your sites that is offering a limited time offer.
The After Logout page can be a useful part of your site and we get into the details below.
