How to redirect already logged in users

  • i’ve been struggling with this for days, hope someone can help:

    already logged in users are shown a ‘you are already logged in’ message if they try to log in again. this is generated from #36 in wpdm-login-form after an is_user_logged_in. i want to replace this, to redirect already-logged-in users to a custom page of my own; in part, because i don’t want to use the wpdm user dashboard. at all. i have everything else working the way i want, and all my other redirects work well with the peter’s login redirect plugin. this, though, i can’t get to work.

    i’ve tried all sorts of snippets in functions.php, in wpdm-functions.php, and wpdm-login-form itself. i get get 404, a blank ‘login’ page, locked out of the site, or no change at all. i’m using wpdm free and i’m not much of a php’er.

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Add following code in your theme’s functions.php file. 

    add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpdm_login_redirect' );
function wpdm_login_redirect(){
    if( is_user_logged_in() && get_the_ID() == get_option('__wpdm_login_url') ):
        wp_redirect( home_url('/') );
        exit();
    endif;
}

    You have replace the home_url('/') with your own url you want to redirect to. It now redirects to homepage.
