Comment (by jimmysonslink):

 This issue may be caused by several factors related to how BuddyPress and
 WordPress handle authentication and redirection. Here are some potential
 causes and solutions:

 **Plugin Conflicts:**

 Issue: Other plugins might be interfering with the login process.
 Solution: Deactivate all other plugins except BuddyPress and see if the
 issue persists. If the problem is resolved, reactivate the plugins one by
 one to identify the conflicting plugin.

 **Theme Issues:**

 Issue: The theme might have custom login redirects or other modifications
 affecting the login process.
 Solution: Switch to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-One)
 and see if the issue persists. If the problem is resolved, the issue is
 within your theme.

 **BuddyPress and WordPress Settings:**

 Issue: Incorrect settings or misconfiguration in BuddyPress or WordPress.

 **Solution:**

 Ensure that WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) are set
 correctly in Settings -> General.
 Check BuddyPress settings to ensure the login and registration pages are
 correctly configured.
 Caching Issues:

 **Issue: Cached pages might be causing conflicts.**

 Solution: Clear any caching (both server-side and browser-side). If you
 use a caching plugin, try clearing the cache or disabling the plugin
 temporarily.
 Custom Code:

 Issue: Custom code in functions.php or custom plugins might be causing
 issues.
 Solution: Review and temporarily disable any custom code related to login
 or redirection.
 Cookie and Session Management:

 Issue: Problems with how cookies and sessions are managed.

 Solution: Check your site's cookie settings and ensure there are no issues
 with session storage.
 Steps to Diagnose and Fix:
 Check for Plugin Conflicts:

 Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress.
 Test the login process.

 Switch Theme:

 Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme.
 Test the login process.

 Check Settings:

 Go to Settings -> General and verify the URLs.
 Go to BuddyPress -> Pages and ensure the login and registration pages are
 set correctly.

 Clear Cache:

 Clear browser cache and cookies.
 Clear any server-side cache if using a caching plugin.
 Review Custom Code:

 Temporarily disable any custom login-related code in functions.php or
 custom plugins.
