Hi Christian
I decided to try using the role

I used the code below to redirect on the user logging in.

But it is not being picked up as access control is activating when going to a specific page. Is there away to by pass the redirect.

function my_login_redirect( $redirect_to, $request, $user ) {
  
    if( !isset( $user->user_login ) ){ // we only want this to run when credentials have been supplied
  
        return $redirect_to;
  
    }
  
    //is there a user to check?
  
    if (isset($user->roles) && is_array($user->roles)) {
  
        //check for sellers
  
        if (in_array('seller', $user->roles)) {
  
            // redirect to seller my-account page
  
            $redirect_to =  '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>';
  
      }
  
    //check for buyers
  
    if (in_array('buyer', $user->roles)) {
  
  
  
        // redirect to my-buyer-account page
  
        $redirect_to = '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>';
  
      }
  }
  
return $redirect_to;
}
 
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );

Hello,

Please elaborate the question with more details:
But it is not being picked up as access control is activating when going to a specific page.

How do you want to bypass the redirect?

I suggest you follow WordPress document to setup your custom PHP codes:

Hi Luio,

I have two user types, which are buyer and seller.

When they login I want to redirect them to the correct page using the user role.

the sign page is lunched using Access control

The redirect is then handled by the function.

I changed the roles to lower case. (I had it as uppercase Seller).
Now when a user logs in there are redirected to the wordpress dashboard. Not the role specific page.

I have tried your custom codes in my localhost, it works fine, it does redirect to different URLs on different user role.

But there is one issue should be notice, you can not redirect users to external website URLs by default, see similar thread here:
