How do I redirect a subscriber to XYZ page after login?

[jodyshockley]

Hello,

After user registration, my subscribers are redirected to the homepage via the user reg. Howver, when they come back to the site, login, they are redirected to the WordPress Dashboard. I’d like them to redirect to the homepage. This would be nice to see in a future version of your plugin for easy handling (and perhaps different user types are redirected to different pages?).

Hi,

It may be useful to add a user interface for this feature. Thanks. I will consider to add this functionality to one of a future versions.

Currently may add a code to the functions.php file:

Hi Vladimir.

Can you please post the code to redirect all users to the home page, except for admin?

Thank you!

Hi,

Try this variant:

/**
 * Redirect to the home page all users except administrator 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 subscribers
        if (!in_array('administrator', $user->roles)) {
            // redirect them to another URL, in this case, the homepage 
            $redirect_to =  home_url();
        }
    }

    return $redirect_to;
}

add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );
