Examples
This example redirects admins to the dashboard and other users to the homepage. Make sure you use add_filter outside of is_admin(), since that function is not available when the filter is called.
/** * 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 );Expand full source codeCollapse full source code
Notes
You can register the login_redirect filter to use all 3 parameters like this:
In the example, ‘filter_function_name’ is the function WordPress should call during the login process. Note that filter_function_name should be unique function name. It cannot match any other function name already declared.
The $current_user global may not be available at the time this filter is run. So you should use the $user global or the $user parameter passed to this filter.
<?php /** * WordPress function for redirecting users on login based on user role */ function wpdocs_my_login_redirect( $url, $request, $user ) { if ( $user && is_object( $user ) && is_a( $user, 'WP_User' ) ) { if ( $user->has_cap( 'administrator' ) ) { $url = admin_url(); } else { $url = home_url( '/members-only/' ); } } return $url; } add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'wpdocs_my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );Expand full source codeCollapse full source code
