LoginWP - Pro

Every user needs to land somewhere different, and WordPress sends them all to the same place

By default, whoever logs in ends up in the WordPress dashboard, whatever their role. For a subscriber, a student or a store customer that is a dead end: they see a panel they don't understand instead of their course, their account or the page they were looking for. LoginWP - Pro fixes that first contact with redirect rules after login, logout and registration.

Who buys LoginWP - Pro and why they take a while to notice the problem

It is installed by people with a site that has several types of user: stores, online academies, membership sites or private client areas. Their problem rarely shows up in analytics: a user who logs in and gets lost simply doesn't come back. The first minute after login is where it is decided whether the account gets used or abandoned, and almost nobody looks after it because the administrator always enters through the dashboard and never sees what everyone else sees.

Rules by user, role and capability, and what the Pro version adds

The base defines where each person goes according to three criteria: their username, their role or a specific capability. That way you can send one client to their private announcements page and everyone else to the home page.

• Logout: also supports rules by user, role or capability.
• After registration: you specify the page or URL that someone who has just signed up lands on.
• {{current_page}} and {{previous_page}} placeholders: return the user to the page they were on or the one that brought them, useful if they log in halfway through reading or buying.
• First login: a special welcome page only the first time.
• Context-based conditions: course or group in LearnDash, membership in MemberPress, Restrict Content Pro, Paid Memberships Pro or WishList Member, product or category purchased and active subscription or membership in WooCommerce, course or membership in LifterLMS, course in Tutor LMS and current language in Polylang or WPML.

Important: those advanced conditions depend on the corresponding plugin being installed. LoginWP does not create memberships, courses or a store; it only decides where to send each person. Nor is it a form design plugin: it redirects, it does not change the look of the login.

Frequently asked questions before installing it

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Rules are created from the panel. If you are a developer, it offers hooks and filters to extend it.

Does it work with login forms that are not WordPress's own?

The Pro version integrates forms and plugins such as WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, WPForms, LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS, Easy Digital Downloads, ProfilePress, MemberPress, Ultimate Member, Theme My Login, Elementor and others. If you use one that is not on that list, test it first in a staging environment.

Can it redirect based on what the customer has bought?

Yes, with WooCommerce you can use the product or purchase category as a condition, as well as active subscriptions and memberships.

Can I send someone to their private page?

Yes, with a rule by username. If you have many clients, a role or a membership condition is more convenient than one rule per person.

Test the rules with accounts of each role, not with the administrator's

Before going live, create test users with each role and each membership type you plan to use and log in with them in a private window. Check the order of the rules: when someone matches several, you need to know which one wins. Also check logout and registration, which are easy to forget. If your site uses several languages or a login form from another plugin, verify each redirect there, not only on the standard screen.
