WordPress Multisite: Redirects users after login to the site’s admin dashboard

  • I want to let the users log in through the main site(www.example.com/wp-admin), Once the user successfully logged In, I want to redirect them to the site admin(ie: https://www.example1.com/wp-admin/index.php)they belong to. I tried different ways to achieve this but none of them is working so far. Here is the way I do.

                 //fetch the user' site id and redirect to the site.
             $user_blogs = get_blogs_of_user($userID);
             if (!empty($user_blogs)) {
                $siteInfo = array();
                foreach ($user_blogs as $site_id => $site_values) {
                    $siteInfo[] = $site_values->siteurl;
                }
                $user_site = $siteInfo[0];
                $redirect_url = $siteInfo[0]."/wp-admin" ;
            } 

           //set the cookies
            wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID, true, false);
            
            //override the cookie domain
            define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', $user_site);
            define('COOKIEPATH', '/');
            define('COOKIEHASH', md5($user_site)); 

           //redirect users to their site admin dashboard.
            wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_url );
            exit;

    Let me know if it is possible?

    You seem to have the right idea, but it’s not clear in what context your code executes. I think the problem is how you manage the redirect. Instead of doing so yourself, hook the filter “login_redirect” and use your code as the callback, returning the appropriate link to the filter instead of redirecting yourself.

    This is my problem too. I haven’t found any solution for now.
