How can I redirect users to the front page after log in?

  • Right now after a user logs in they are taken to the user end of the dashboard. I want them to be redirected to the homepage instead after log in. I found a plugin that does this but it seems to be overkill to install an entire plugin just for this little task when I can probably just edit a simple line in one of the core files. Does anyone know which file this is and what exactly I have to do??

  • Try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file…

    /* redirect users to front page after login */
function redirect_to_front_page() {
global $redirect_to;
if (!isset($_GET['redirect_to'])) {
$redirect_to = get_option('siteurl');
}
}
add_action('login_form', 'redirect_to_front_page');

    This is great, thanks!
