How to target Editor in wp-admin link

    I have inherited a website that has a link on the online site for Admin access. When I click on it it takes me to the Admin dashboard without me having to put in username and password (as it should as I am an Administrator). However I need to make it so that an Editor is taken to his particular Dashboard which is a modified version of mine. How do I edit the link in the widget to achieve this?
    Currently the link reads:
    <a href="/wp-admin" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Admin Login</a>
    He has his own username and password – will it open automatically in his particular dashboard or not?
    Thanks

  • If a user is not logged in they will be redirected to provide credentials (you can test it by logging out of your user and clicking the link).

    That link (/wp-admin) is just the standard WP login location, nothing to do with an admin (other than the word ‘admin’ used in the text link).

    If you create a test editor you will be able to see exactly how an editor will see the dashboard.
