How to Link Clients to Their Portal

1 min read

You can add a simple link anywhere on your website that takes a logged-in client directly to their portal. ClientPress handles the rest — it checks who they are and shows them only the portals they have access to.


The Link to Use #

Add this URL as your link destination:

yoursite.com/client-portal/

Replace yoursite.com with your actual domain.

This page is built into ClientPress. When a client clicks the link:

  • If they are not logged in, they will be sent to the login page first, then redirected to their portal after signing in.
  • If they are logged in and have one portal, they go directly to that portal.
  • If they are logged in and have multiple portals, they see a list of all their portals and can choose which one to open.

Where to Add the Link #

You can place this link anywhere on your site:

  • Navigation menu — Add it as a custom menu item labeled “My Portal” or “Visit Your Portal”
  • Homepage or landing page — Add a button or text link
  • Account or dashboard page — Embed it alongside other account links
  • Email signatures or onboarding emails — Link directly so clients can bookmark it

Optional: Embed a Portal List on a Page #

If you’d like to display the client’s portals inline on a page (for example, on a dedicated “My Account” page), you can use this shortcode in any page or post:

[cp_portal_list]

This renders a list of the logged-in user’s portals with clickable links. Optional display attributes:

  • show_status="true" — Shows the status of each portal
  • show_logo="true" — Shows the portal logo next to the name

Example:

[cp_portal_list show_status="true" show_logo="true"]

Optional: Redirect Clients Automatically After Login #

Instead of requiring clients to click a link, you can configure ClientPress to send them straight to their portal the moment they log in.

  1. Go to Settings → ClientPress → Access & Login
  2. Enable the Login Redirect option
  3. Select which user roles should be redirected (e.g., your client role)

Once enabled, clients with the selected role will be automatically sent to their portal after every login — no link needed.


Summary #

  • Add a “Visit Your Portal” link — Link to yoursite.com/client-portal/
  • Embed a portal list on a page — Use [cp_portal_list] shortcode
  • Auto-redirect clients after login — Enable Login Redirect in ClientPress Settings
