Hello,

is it possible to implement a custom redirect after login, based on user role ?

The plugin “peter’s login redirect” would normally do that, but I can’t make it work with pie register…

I’ve read several topics on this subject, but none came with a solution or a code snippet that might actually be working.

I thank you in advance for your answer, I’m quite sure that I’m not the only one interested in custom redirects.

Kind regards,

Noah

Hello,

PR triggers WP_LOGIN hook on login along with its own login hook (piereg_admin_login_before_redirect_hook and piereg_user_login_before_redirect_hook). You can put your redirect funtion on eiher of them, here’s how you will do it.

add_action(‘wp_login’,’myCustomLoginHook’, 10, 2);

function myCustomLoginHook($username,$userObject){
//Your Custom Redirect Snipet goes here.
}

Hope it helps.

Thanks

Hello,

thank you for your quick reply.

Following your advice, I’ve tried to add this snippet, but apparently it doesn’t work :

add_action(‘wp_login’,’myCustomLoginHook’, 10, 2);
function myCustomLoginHook($username,$userObject){
$role_name = $userObject->roles[0];
if ( ‘aaa’ == $role_name ) {
wp_redirect( ‘http://www.mysite.com/aaa’ );
exit;
}
elseif ( ‘bbb’ == $role_name ) {
wp_redirect( ‘http://www.mysite.com/bbb’ );
exit;
}
elseif( ‘ccc’ == $role_name ) {
wp_redirect( ‘http://www.mysite.com/ccc’ );
exit;
}
}

It doesn’t work better if I use the piereg_user_login_before_redirect_hook
Do your have any idea of what the problem might be ?

Thanks again for your precious help !

Hello,

I tested the code and its working fine. Just make sure you have entered the correct user role and this code snippet placed inside your theme’s function.php.

add_action('wp_login','myCustomLoginHook', 10, 2);
function myCustomLoginHook($username,$userObject){
    $role_name = $userObject->roles[0];
        /*echo '<pre>';
        print_r($role_name);
        die('TESTING');*/
    if ( 'administrator' == $role_name ) {
      wp_redirect( 'http://example.com/sample-page/' );
          exit;
    } 
    elseif ( 'bbb' == $role_name ) {
      wp_redirect( 'http://www.mysite.com/bbb' );
          exit;
    }
    elseif( 'ccc' == $role_name ) {
      wp_redirect( 'http://www.mysite.com/ccc' );
          exit;
    } 
}

Thanks
