On a recent membership project using Restrict Content Pro, it had been determined that all website users (front-end users, as well as administrators and editors) would log in from a page on the front end of the website. Users were then forwarded to their account page on the front end. However, where the user was a website administrator or editor they would have preferred to be sent to the website backend instead.
Luckily, Restrict Content Pro has a useful filter, rcp_login_redirect_url, that I could leverage to make this happen. With some additional logic, it’s was possible to redirect users to different locations based on their user role.
