Hi there,

We're testing with the wp-views login forms.

We want to reach the next thing:
We have 3 types of user roles: admin / client / user

We want to redirect after login based on this role:
admin => .../wp-admin
client => .../my-account
user => .../my-profile

Is this possible and how can we reach this?
Thanks.

Paul

Thank you for contacting Toolset Support. I am happy to help you with this.

There is no direct way to do this with a conditional but I suggest creating a custom filter with WordPress native functions:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/login_redirect

/**
 * 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 );

Please let me know if this resolves your question or if it needs more investigation.
