Custom login redirect

  • How can I do a custom redirect after login to a page that is not the home page and not the admin page? I have tried using this…

    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Redirect user to front page
Plugin URI: https://www.theblog.ca/wplogin-front-page
Description: When a user logs in via wp-login directly, redirect them to the front page.
Author: Peter
Version: 1.0
Author URI: https://www.theblog.ca
*/

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');
?>

    but I cant change the siteurl to something like newdash.html or newdash.php, it gives me a blank page. I need to use this to send a user to a “more user friendly” dashboard (its what they want so I cant get around it) how can i do this?

    I gave up on that idea and I am now using this…

    case 'login' :
default:
	if ( isset( $_REQUEST['redirect_to'] ) )
		$redirect_to = $_REQUEST['redirect_to'];
	else
		//$redirect_to = 'wp-admin/';
		$redirect_to = 'wp-admin/test.php';
	$user = wp_signon();

    however it will not let me redirect to test.php (which is just a copy of profile.php) but it will let it go to profile.php. Why wont it go to test.php since they are the same?

    I did it changing the redirect_to value in wp-login.php page
