This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I am displaying a login form on my site using the Views login form shortcode wpv-login-form. The site is in 3 languages, so the shortcode has been translated. The redirect URL is different depending on the language. That's fine, but I would like to redirect certain User roles to a different URL. Again, the URL is different for each language.
Solution: Keep the login shortcodes as they are currently written and translated. Use the default redirect URLs in the shortcodes. Use the following custom code to redirect specific User roles to another URL:
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;
} elseif ( in_array( 'family', $user->roles ) ) {
return $redirect_to;
}elseif( in_array( 'native_nanny', $user->roles ) ){
switch( $redirect_to ) {
case get_site_url() . '/de/native-nanny-finden':
$redirect_to = get_site_url() . '/de/job-finden';
break;
case get_site_url() . '/es/encuentra-tu-native-nanny':
$redirect_to = get_site_url() . '/es/encuentra-un-trabajo';
break;
default:
$redirect_to = get_site_url() . '/en/find-a-job';
break;
}
}
}
return $redirect_to;
}
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );
Note that these redirects are very tightly coupled to the URLs used in the login form shortcode and the URLs of the actual redirect pages. If any of those change, the code must be updated.

Hi Simon,
Thank you for getting in touch.
There should be an automatic language redirect in WPML that would resolve this for you. See Screenshot
Go to WPML -> Language -> Browser Language redirect .
This should allow you to setup the browser redirect based on the user's language.
Thanks,
Shane
HI Shane
I have both pages translated (the Login page, and the destination page), see screenshots. Also, I already had WPML set as in the screenshot to redirect already, but only if translations existed, which they do. So I'm puzzled as to why it is still not behaving as I would expect...
Thanks and regards
Simon
HI Shane
We had to deactivate the code you modified recently, because I was not even able to log in any more as an admin. My browser page was simply returning a completely white page with "en", and I wasn't able to see the WP Admin dashboard. Luckily my colleague was already in the WP Admin in an old session and was able to access the Toolset > Settings > Custom Code tab and deactivate the code snippet. Now I can access the WP Admin again.
We retested this morning, all translations exist for the pages we want to redirect to in all 6 "cases", and I believe we have set up WPML correctly (see screenshot), however we are still missing conditional login based on role.
When we open a fresh private window in a German browser, we land correctly on dev.native-nanny.com/de.
When we open a fresh private window in an English browser, we land correctly on dev.native-nanny.com/en.
After successful login for role family the redirect functions correctly (as programmed in the [wpv-login-form], ie we always land where we want to as a family:
../en/find-a-native-nanny
../de/native-nanny-finden
../es/encuentra-tu-native-nanny
This works I believe, because the login was successful, and so it is forced to go there due to what is programmed in the
[wpv-login-form] shortcode:
[wpv-login-form redirect_url='hidden link' redirect_url_fail='hidden link' allow_remember='true']
However, when we log in for role native_nanny, we are redirected to the same page, which Nannies should not see ever, rather they should be sent to the following pages:
../en/find-a-job
../de/job-finden
../es/encuentra-tu-trabajo
In other words, we need the redirect to function thus:
if ( in_array( 'administrator', $user->roles ) ) {
// redirect them to the default place
return $redirect_to;
} elseif ( in_array( 'family', $user->roles ) && $my_current_lang == 'en' ) {
return home_url('/en/find-a-native-nanny/');
}elseif ( in_array( 'family', $user->roles ) && $my_current_lang == 'de' ){
return home_url('/de/native-nanny-finden/');
} elseif ( in_array( 'family', $user->roles ) && $my_current_lang == 'es' ){
return home_url('/es/encuentra-tu-native-nanny/');
}elseif( in_array( 'native_nanny', $user->roles ) && $my_current_lang == 'en' ){
return home_url('/en/find-a-job/');
}elseif( in_array( 'native_nanny', $user->roles ) && $my_current_lang == 'de' ){
return home_url('/de/job-finden/');
}elseif( in_array( 'native_nanny', $user->roles ) && $my_current_lang == 'es' ){
return home_url('/es/encuentra-tu-trabajo/');
I hope I was able to express our requirement clearly... 🙂
Thanks and regards
Simon
