The Ultimate Member plugin provides a dedicated setting within its User Roles<\/strong> configuration to control where a user is redirected after a successful login, making it very easy to set a custom destination for the Author<\/strong> role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the step-by-step process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2699\ufe0f Ultimate Member Role-Based Redirection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Access Ultimate Member User Roles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Navigate to your WordPress dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Go to Ultimate Member<\/strong> \ud83e\udc06 User Roles<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    2. Edit the Author Role<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Locate the Author<\/strong> role in the list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Click the Edit<\/strong> link next to the Author role’s name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      3. Configure Login Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • On the Edit Role<\/strong> screen, click on the Login Options<\/strong> tab (or scroll down to the Login Options section).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Find the setting titled Action to be taken after login<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        4. Set the Custom Redirect URL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Change the Action to be taken after login<\/strong> setting to Redirect to URL<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • A new field will appear below it, titled Set Custom Redirect URL<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • In this field, enter the full URL or the relative path of the page where you want Author users to land.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          Action to be taken after login<\/strong><\/td>Set Custom Redirect URL Example<\/strong><\/td>Result<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
          Redirect to URL<\/td>\/author-dashboard\/<\/td>Redirects to a custom page created for Authors.<\/td><\/tr>
          Redirect to URL<\/td>https:\/\/yourwebsite.com\/posts\/<\/td>Redirects to a specific URL (like a post listing page).<\/td><\/tr>
          Redirect to WordPress Admin<\/td><\/td>Redirects to the standard WordPress Dashboard.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Tip:<\/strong> For most Author users, a good redirect is a custom front-end dashboard or their default WordPress admin area where they can access their posts (\/wp-admin\/edit.php<\/code>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            5. Save Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Click the Update Role<\/strong> button at the bottom of the page to save your new redirect rule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udcdd Important Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Login Form Setting:<\/strong> This role-based setting can be overridden by a setting on a specific Ultimate Member login form. Ensure your login form is configured to use the default role settings:\n
                  \n
                1. Go to Ultimate Member<\/strong> \ud83e\udc06 Forms<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Edit your Login Form<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. In the form settings, under Redirection after Login<\/strong>, ensure the setting is set to Default<\/strong>. This tells the form to respect the rule set in the User Role.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Default WordPress Role:<\/strong> The standard Author role is a default WordPress role. Ultimate Member enhances these roles, allowing you to set these custom redirects for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \n\n\n\n

                  \ud83d\udcda Reference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Ultimate Member Documentation: User Roles Settings.<\/strong> (2023). Provides details on configuring login, registration, and general permissions on a per-role basis, including the “Action to be taken after login” setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
