How to Create Login Redirects with LoginPress (Simple)

If your WordPress website has different user types, you may want to redirect them to the appropriate pages after logging in.

LoginPress allows you to redirect users and visitors, i.e., customers or editors, to specific pages using Login Redirects.

You can simply send one subscriber to its related page and one customer to another page, following the redirection rule. All redirections are managed through a single, intuitive UX/UI.

This knowledge base article explains how to redirect users after successful login to the WordPress site.

Activate Login Redirects Add-on

Step 1: Go to Login Redirects

First, go to LoginPress on the left side of the admin dashboard, then click Settings. 

Here, under the Login Redirects tab, you’ll find two tabs:

• Specific User:

You can search for the specific username in the Search Username field to apply redirects. 

Once you’ve selected the user, you can see the User ID, Username, Email, Login URL, and Logout URL.

There will be two more Action buttons at the end of each row: Update and Delete.

The update button lets you update the links, and the Delete button lets you delete the redirect links for the specified users.

• Specific Roles:

The Specific Roles tab lets you apply redirects to users based on their roles on your site. 

You’ll need to search for the specific role in the Search Roles field to apply redirects. 

After selecting the specific role, you can view the User ID, Username, Email, Login URL, and Logout URL.

There will be two more Action buttons at the end of each row: Update and Delete.

The update button lets you update the links, and the Delete button lets you delete the redirect links for the specified users.

To set up custom login redirection, go to the LoginPress settings. You'll see the Login Redirect tab, where you can configure redirection options for users. 

As you can see, Login Redirects is a highly flexible Add-on that lets you configure redirects based on usernames or roles.

Login Redirects for Specific Users

Redirecting specific users is very easy. Go to the Specific User tab and search for the user's name in the Search Username box. 

If the user exists, you’ll see their details, including their User ID, username, and registered email address. You get two fields labeled Login URL and Logout URL. You can specify the URLs to redirect users to at login and logout.

Once you have set the URLs, go to the next column and choose the appropriate action (Update or Delete). 

Login Redirects According to User Roles

Redirecting users based on their assigned roles is straightforward. Go to the Specific Roles tab and search for a role in the Search Roles box.
