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 $redirect_to;
}
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );
Note that these redirects are very tightly coupled to the URLs used in the login form shortcode and the URLs of the actual redirect pages. If any of those change, the code must be updated.
For some reason, this one View has ceased to work. We tried removing it from the Content Template, then adding it in again (under the photograph in the first column), but that didn't work.
Solution:
You just need to use content template shortcodes, for example:
Problem: I would like to display a User's age based on a custom date field that stores their birthdate.
Solution: Use the following custom shortcode:
add_shortcode( 'time_ago', 'time_ago_func');
function time_ago_func($atts){
global $wpdb;
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'birthdate' => '',
), $atts ) );
// handle the case where birthdate field is not set
if( !$birthdate ) {
return '';
}
$age = floor((time() - $birthdate)/(365*24*60*60));
return $age;
}
Use the following syntax to display the User's age:
[time_ago birthdate='[types usermeta="nanny-date-of-birth" raw="true" user_current="true"][/types]'] years old
Problem: I have a site that contains the password reset shortcode, but it's not working as expected in the development environment.
Solution: Check the URLs to be sure the domain is accurate and the URL is complete. Use a migration plugin to handle text replacement during migration between environments.
