    Hello,

    When users login, redirect is working fine, and I also use redirect to different URLS according to the users role.

    However, when the user is already logged in, and clicks on “login” he is not redirected to that URL anymore and instead stays in the login page.

    Is there any way I could make redirects for logged in users as well?

    Are you describing a problem you have with an existing redirect, or want to know how to perform the above redirect?

    Hi John, thank you for replying.

    I need help with an existing redirect. Is it possible to redirect the user to a custom url according to his role? Not only when they are logging in, but everytime they click on that link.

    At the moment it only redirects only when logging in.

    Thanks again.

    Hello John,

    My login page url looks like this: domain.com/login

    Currently I use URL and role/capability and this allows to redirect users to their specific members area according to their role. Works great.

    However, when a user is already logged in, and comes back to my website, clicks on domain.com/login nothing happens and he doesn’t get redirected to his members area anymore.

    I hope this explained better.

    Can you show a screenshot with your settings for this redirect?

    Are those roles correct? The role is supposed to be filled in with the role used by WordPress, not the text label assigned to that role. ‘Mock Exam’ does not look like a role.

    It should be something that is used by this function:

    Yes the roles are correct and used exactly as they appear in WordPress users tab attaching a pic.

    That’s my point. The text you see in the menu is the text label. The plugin is expecting the underlying role/capability value.

    For example the ‘Edit Posts’ capability is edit_posts.

    It does not seem likely that the underling capability value is ‘Mock Exam’.

    I see your point now. I will try to work around this and see if there is any improvement.

    Just to clarify, if everything is set up correctly, the user will always be redirected if it matches the URL and ROLE CAPABILITY?

    It should be, yes.
