WordPress Development Asked by plumwd on January 5, 2021
I am currently trying to setup a redirect so that my admin users are redirected to a page other than the dashboard within the wordpress administrator interface.
If I leave out my conditional, the redirect works, but then it also redirects non-administrator users as well and I don’t want this.
Here is the code I have within functions.php
add_filter('login_redirect', 'dashboard_redirect');
function dashboard_redirect($url) {
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$level = (int) $current_user->wp_user_level;
if ( $level > 10 ) {
$url = 'wp-admin/edit.php';
}
return $url;
}
If you want to redirect to another page any time they try to access the dashboard, and not just after login, use something like this:
add_action( 'current_screen', function() {
$screen = get_current_screen();
if ( isset( $screen->id ) && $screen->id == 'dashboard' ) {
wp_redirect( admin_url( 'edit.php?post_type=my-post-type' ) );
exit();
}
} );

Yan also add this simple action to the 'login_form' (see this site for more detail).
For example, to redirect to dashboard, you can use:
add_action('login_form', 'redirect_after_login');
function redirect_after_login() {
global $redirect_to;
if (!isset($_GET['redirect_to'])) {
$redirect_to = get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/index.php';
}
}

You should not use Userlevels. Userlevels have been replaced in WP 2.0 and have been officially deprecated since 3.0
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'dashboard_redirect' );
function dashboard_redirect( $url ) {
if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
$url = esc_url( admin_url( 'edit.php' ) );
}
return $url;
}
Will do what you want.

Try wrapping the function with this current_user condition:
if (current_user_can('administrator')) {
// Your Redirect Code Here
}
