Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin work with custom roles?
Yes! The plugin automatically detects all roles registered in WordPress, including custom roles added by other plugins or themes.
What happens if a user has multiple roles?
The plugin uses the user’s primary role (first role in their role array) for determining the redirect URL.
Can I use relative URLs?
Yes, you can use both absolute URLs (https://yoursite.com/page/) and relative URLs (/page/).
Will this override WooCommerce redirects?
No, the plugin respects existing redirect_to parameters. WooCommerce checkout redirects and similar functionality will continue to work normally.
What happens if I don’t set a redirect for a role?
If no redirect URL is set for a role, users with that role will be redirected to the WordPress default location (usually the admin dashboard or profile page).
Is the plugin multisite compatible?
Yes, the plugin works on multisite installations. Each site in the network can have its own redirect settings.
Can I redirect users to external websites?
For security reasons, the plugin only allows redirects to your own domain or relative URLs.
How can I reset the settings?
You can clear individual role redirects by removing the URL and saving. To completely reset, deactivate and reactivate the plugin.
Does this work with custom login pages?
Yes, as long as the custom login page uses WordPress’s standard authentication hooks (wp_login), the redirects will work.
Will this slow down my site?
No, the plugin is very lightweight and only runs during the login process. It has no impact on regular page loads.
