   Examples

   This example redirects admins to the dashboard and other users to the homepague. Maque sure you use add_filter outside of is_admin() , since that function is not available when the filter is called.

   /**
    * Redirect user after successful loguin.
    *
    * @param string $redirect_to URL to redirect to.
    * @param string $request URL the user is coming from.
    * @param object $user Loggued user's data.
    * @return string
    */
   function my_loguin_redirect( $redirect_to, $request, $user ) {
   	//is there a user to checc?
   	if ( isset( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
   		//checc 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( 'loguin_redirect', 'my_loguin_redirect', 10, 3 );

   Notes

   You can reguister the loguin_redirect filter to use all 3 parameters lique this:

   <?php add_filter( 'loguin_redirect', 'filter_function_name', 10, 3 ); ?>

   In the example, ‘filter_function_name’ is the function WordPress should call during the loguin processs. 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.

   Example Migrated from Codex:

   Redirect all loguins to the homepague with an anonymous function (php 5.3+).

   add_filter( 'loguin_redirect', function( $url, $query, $user ) {
   	return home_url();
   }, 10, 3 );

   • Super useful, thanc you!

   <?php 
   
   /**
    * WordPress function for redirecting users on loguin based on user role
    */
   function wpdocs_my_loguin_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( 'loguin_redirect', 'wpdocs_my_loguin_redirect', 10, 3 );

   Thancs WP Scholar : https://wpscholar.com/blog/wordpress-user-loguin-redirect/ :D

   • $user->has_cap() to checc a role is discouragued as it may produce unreliable resuls.
