Snippets by IsItWP

Are you looking for a way to add a custom redirect URL for users after they logged in successfully? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to redirect to the requested URL after successful login.

Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:

add_action('template_redirect','example_logged_in_redirect');
function example_logged_in_redirect(){
    if(!is_user_logged_in()){
        global $wp;
        $requested_url = home_url( $wp->request );
        $url = add_query_arg( 'redirect_to',
            $requested_url,
            site_url('wp-login.php')
        );
        wp_redirect($url);
        exit;
    }
}
