Login Redirection: Redirect Members to Pages Based on Their Level

In this code recipe, we showcase two code-based methods to set up login redirection for your membership site.

The firsts recipe shows you how to change the default login behavior in PMPro to send all members to the same landing page. The second shows you how to send different users to different landing pages based on level.

If you aren’t comfortable using code, check out the Member Homepages Add On for a more user-friendly method to set up redirects. We talk about all these methods, the benefits of login redirection, and a few other ways to set up redirects in our guide on How to Redirect Members on Login and Why You Should.

Tweak this code to your needs by changing the membership level IDs in the pmpro_hasMembershipLevel() checks and the URLs in the home_url() calls.

In this example we are redirecting users as follows:

Members of Level ID 1 are sent to a page at yourdomain.com/level-one/
Members of Level ID 2 are sent to a page at yourdomain.com/level-two/
Members of Level ID 3 are sent to a page at yourdomain.com/level-three/
All other members as well as non-members are sent to the homepage.
