redirect to original url request after login – possible?

    Most of the pages on our site are visible to logged-in-users only. Our site is pretty massive, multi-site, so users will send each other deep links in e.g. email, and users like to bookmark deep links. (So https://site.com/blogname/some/specific/post or https://site.com/blogname/somepage .) However, on login, users are redirected to blogname/wp-admin, not the page they originally requested. I’ve found ways to redirect them to some other generic page, but no way to redirect them to their originally requested page.

  • Hi shivks.
    try this code. i hope you can get an idea and modify this according to your needs.

    add_filter('login_redirect', 'redirect_previous_page', 10);

function redirect_previous_page(){
    global $user;
    $request = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
    if ( in_array( $user->roles[0], array( 'administrator') ) ) {
        return admin_url();
        return $redirect_to;
    } elseif ( in_array( $user->roles[0], array( 'subscriber') ) ) {
        return $request;
        return $redirect_to;
    }
}

    Hi Maavuz,

    Thanks for this code.
    I’m in the same situation as Shivks and this will be a great help.

    Just one question; Should I add this to functions.php or somewhere else as I’m worried about it getting overwritten by an update in WP or my theme.

    Thanks,
    Donal

    Hi donal.long.

    Issue Solved.

    I am using cookie to store requested url and pass it to through wp-redirect.

    Hi Shivks

    Can you provide some more details about how you are using a cookie to redirect?

    Thanks again,
    Donal

    Hi donal,

    $cookie_name = “1”;
    $cookie_value = $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’];//it will get requested url
    setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, 0, “/”);//once browser closed cookie //will delete

    Place this above code in main index.php file.

    and in wp-login.php file , to use that cookie to redirect it.
