Hi @ndh01

I’m not aware of a hook that fires on first login only. A way around that might be to add a meta key to the user’s meta on registration and then check for that on each login attempt. You’d need to remove the key after you’ve performed the check (if the key exists). If no key exists, then the user has logged in before. Just thinking out loud here… 🙂

Hi @ndh01,

I think you could do this just with buddypress.

(just please backup database before….. etc)

Go to Profile Fields—> (Click) Add New Field Group

Add New Field (text) say Field Name virgin

Then add the following to your functions.php

function vub_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){

	global $current_user, $bp, $wpdb;
	$val = 'no';
	if (bp_get_profile_field_data (virgin, $user -> ID )!=""){
	$redirect_to = bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID) .'/groups/';	
}else{
	xprofile_set_field_data( 'virgin', $user -> ID, $val);
	$redirect_to = bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID) .'/profile/change-avatar/';
}

	wp_redirect( $redirect_to );
	exit();

}

add_action('login_redirect', 'vub_login_redirect', 20, 3);

Alternatively you could as you have suggested create a new meta.

A useful plugin for that would be User Meta Manager

Add Custom Meta say a text field Name — firsttimer

then add the following (instead of the above) to your functions.php

function vu_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){

	global $current_user, $wpdb;
	$firsttimer = get_usermeta($user -> ID, 'firsttimer',single);
	$val = 'no';
	if (!empty ($firsttimer)) {	
	$redirect_to = bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID) .'/groups/';
}else{
	update_user_meta( $user -> ID,'firsttimer',$val);
	$redirect_to = bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID) .'/profile/change-avatar/';
}
	
	wp_redirect( $redirect_to );
	exit();

}

add_action('login_redirect', 'vu_login_redirect', 20, 3);

Obviously change the redirects to wherever you want the user to go.

I haven’t tested yet. There is an activity entry for ‘new_member’ that gets created. Not sure if that is when they first login or or first activate.

new_member is an activity type. It’s created when a user activates their account (at the point at which the bp_core_activated_user hook fires).

@shanebp’s approach is probably the simplist. Did anyone manage to test?

@ndh01 what does new_member have to do with bp_get_user_last_activity()?

@valuser Thanks for sharing the function.
One issue re ‘proper’ WP coding – add_filter should always return something, so…

function sbp_first_login_check( $redirect_to, $not_used, $user ) {

  if( bp_get_user_last_activity( $user->ID ) !== '' ) 
       $redirect_to = bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID) .'/groups/';
  else
       $redirect_to = bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID) .'/profile/change-avatar/';

 return $redirect_to;

}
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'sbp_first_login_check', 20, 3 );

I’m with you on the good practice thing, always good to keep an eye on that when using or writing code
