    Hi there
    thanks for the great plugin.
    i am trying to run a simple scenario and it doesn’t seem to work…

    I need the user to be redirected upon login to a specific page based on their level. i found a code example and used it but am not sure where to place it.
    the code example is below
    i added it to my functions.php in the theme and it only worked for the “admin” account which was level “2”. i added it to the functions.php and also the filters.php of this plugin and the admin was redirected to the dashboard (the rest where just redirected to home as if they have no level when going through the code)

    i would really appreciate a quick response on this and also if there is a way to redirect with a plugin without using code
    Thanks

    /*
    Login redirect example using PMPro to check membership levels.
    */
    function my_login_redirect($redirect_to, $request, $user)
    {
    //is there a user to check?
    if(!empty($user->ID))
    {
    //check level
    if(pmpro_hasMembershipLevel(1, $user->ID))
    return home_url(“/level-one/”);
    elseif(pmpro_hasMembershipLevel(2, $user->ID))
    return home_url(“/level-two/”);
    elseif(pmpro_hasMembershipLevel(3, $user->ID))
    return home_url(“/level-three/”);
    else
    return home_url();
    }
    }
    add_filter(“login_redirect”, “my_login_redirect”, 10, 3);

    Code works for me.

    Make sure your level ids are 1, 2, and 3, etc.

    Make sure other plugins aren’t overriding this behavior.

    Thanks for the reply.
    unfortunately this is a non-profit project (a fundraiser for a 5.5 years boy who has a rare type of cancer) so we have no resources. i am doing the best that i can to keep it that way and that all donations go to this cause.
    my quick question is where to place the code itself.

    i am currently using one of our friends Wishlist (which could be the problem…)and am planing to move away from it this week as it doesn’t allow us everything we need. so my time to leave wishlist is limited.
    (i am not sure if i can disable Wishlist to test the override issue as it is a live site. i’ll test late at night).
    my level ids are 1,2,3
    The website (if you do wish to look at it) is:
    LeadLoveInspire dot org
    Thanks

    Hi a short update
    i tried a few things and nothing works
    when i turn Wishlist off i am redirected to the main domain page /wp_login.php (which throws a 404 exception)
    turn on Wishlist it redirects to home page

    tried to put the code int he theme (functions and filters) tried in the plugin (functions) nothing seemed to work
    Thanks

    OK found the solution here it is for others (wasn’t too hard, but would have appreciated a little bit of direction..oh well…)

    here are the list of current hooks and filters:
    https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/category/hooks-and-filters/
    and i added my redirect below: pmpro_login_redirect in /paid-memberships-pro.php

    maybe it would work in other places too. the developer might shed some more light. just my 2c as a newbie here

    By “added my redirect below” do you mean you pasted your code into paid-memberships-pro.php in the plugin folder?

    If so, a couple notes: (1) this shouldn’t be any different than putting that code in your active theme’s functions.php. Maybe you put it in the wrong theme?? You could try to create a custom plugin and paste it in there using these instructions: https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/2012/08/create-a-plugin-for-pmpro-customizations/

    (2) It’s not a good idea to edit the plugin files directly as you won’t be able to upgrade the plugin without overwriting your changes. If possible, move that code into a custom plugin.

    Going to mark this thread as closed.
