Reply To: Login Redirect
You could try using the WordPress API, there is a function called login_redirect()
/**
* Redirect user after successful login.
*
* @param string $redirect_to URL to redirect to.
* @param string $request URL the user is coming from.
* @param object $user Logged user's data.
* @return string
*/
function my_login_redirect( $redirect_to, $request, $user ) {
//is there a user to check?
if ( isset( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
//check for admins
if ( in_array( 'administrator', $user->roles ) ) {
// redirect them to the default place
return $redirect_to;
} else {
return home_url();
}
} else {
return $redirect_to;
}
}
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );
You need to add something like the code above your child theme functions.php file, or you can create a plugin and add this code to it.
