Login and Redirect to Current Page
For the redirect example to the current URL via
get_permalink()above, note that if the request is a 404,get_permalink()will returnfalse, so you may want to grab the actual URL instead.A scenario where it could be useful to still redirect to your current URL even if it was a 404, would be if the current URL was a private post, and your user was not yet logged-in – hence ended up on a 404.
In that case, if you show them a login link, they should be redirected back to the current URL (i.e. the private post), so that they finally can access it.
Basic Example
To check with WP CLI:
wp eval "echo wp_login_url();"Login and Redirect to Homepage
