This code checks if a user is logging in for the first time, that is after registration. I want to redirect him to a custom page if so. Otherwise, redirect him to the homepage or admin page.
function mylogin_redirect() {
global $user_ID;
if( $user_ID ) {
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_ID );
// If user_registered date/time is less than 48hrs from now
// Message will show for 48hrs after registration
if ( strtotime( $user_info->user_registered ) > ( time() - 172800 ) ) {
header("Location: http://example.com/custompage");
} elseif( current_user_can( 'manage_options' )) {
header("Location: http://example.com/wp-admin/");
} else {
header("Location: http://example.com/");
}
}
}
add_action('wp_head', 'mylogin_redirect');
But it doesn't work? My guess is it doesn't get hooked into wp_head... I tried the following using login_redirect filter:
function mylogin_redirect($redirect_to, $url_redirect_to = '', $user = null) {
global $user_ID;
if( $user_ID ) {
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_ID );
// If user_registered date/time is less than 48hrs from now
// Message will show for 48hrs after registration
if ( strtotime( $user_info->user_registered ) > ( time() - 172800 ) ) {
return get_bloginfo('url') . "/custompage/";
} elseif( current_user_can( 'manage_options' )) {
return admin_url();
} else {
return get_bloginfo('url');
}
}
}
add_filter('login_redirect', 'mylogin_redirect');
Though it logs me in, it doesn't get me anywhere but to http://example.com/wp-login.php
instead with a blank page.
UPDATE: Ok, I don't know what's happening. Using the filter hook, I can get to the intended destination only after second login. Well not really second login but on the second click of the login button. I did it like so: enter credentials -> login -> (wrong page) -> hit back button -> enter credentials again -> login -> (correct page). Weird.
