WordPress - Redirect logged in users from login page to custom page

Question

I have created a page template that will be used to show a custom wordpress login form.

<?php /* * Template Name: Login */ get_header(); if( !is_user_logged_in() ){ ?> html code <?php } else { $user = wp_get_current_user(); if( current_user_can('edit_users') && in_array('customrole', $user->roles) ){ wp_redirect( site_url('/role-page') ); exit; } if( current_user_can('edit_users') && in_array('customrole1', $user->roles) ){ wp_redirect( site_url('/role-page1') ); exit; } } get_footer(); ?>

I've noticed that if an user is logged in, the page will be loaded and is blank, the users will be not redirected to the desired location. How I can fix this problem and let the logged users be redirected based on their role?

Use template_redirect

add_action( 'template_redirect', function() { if ( is_user_logged_in()){ $restricted = array( 250(login page id) ); // all your restricted pages if ( in_array( get_queried_object_id(), $restricted ) ) { wp_redirect( site_url( '/custom_page slug' ) ); exit(); } } });

will this be possible from the page code or I need to add it in function? I just need that the users will not see a blank page but are redirected to their assigned page

Add this is functions.php file

but this will be only redirect all users to a page, also I want to avoid adding actions in my functions file, I already have a custom plugin that is managing a lot of things I need

I think we can use wp_redirect before content is sent to the browser. You should use hooks for that.

But you can try this for custom template:

global $current_user; $role = $current_user->roles; $current_role = implode( $role ); if ( $current_role == 'customrole' ) { $url = site_url( '/role-page' ); echo "<script>window.location.href = '$url';</script>"; exit; }
