Not every user should be able to log in to the Dashboard, and WooCommerce already prevents this. But you may want to change it for somebody or just use a different page.
By default WooCommerce redirects the user to the My Account page after a successful login.
You can redirect after logging in and use a custom URL based on the user role, like the Dashboard for admins and My Account page for customers.
Add this code at the end of the file functions.php in wp-content/themes/your-child-theme-name/:
<?php
/**
* Redirect users to custom URL based on their role after login
*
* @param string $redirect
* @param object $user
* @return string
*/
function wc_custom_user_redirect( $redirect, $user ) {
// Get the first of all the roles assigned to the user
$role = $user->roles[0];
$dashboard = admin_url();
$myaccount = get_permalink( wc_get_page_id( 'myaccount' ) );
if( $role == 'administrator' ) {
//Redirect administrators to the dashboard
$redirect = $dashboard;
} elseif ( $role == 'shop-manager' ) {
//Redirect shop managers to the dashboard
$redirect = $dashboard;
} elseif ( $role == 'editor' ) {
//Redirect editors to the dashboard
$redirect = $dashboard;
} elseif ( $role == 'author' ) {
//Redirect authors to the dashboard
$redirect = $dashboard;
} elseif ( $role == 'customer' || $role == 'subscriber' ) {
//Redirect customers and subscribers to the "My Account" page
$redirect = $myaccount;
} else {
//Redirect any other role to the previous visited page or, if not available, to the home
$redirect = wp_get_referer() ? wp_get_referer() : home_url();
}
return $redirect;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_login_redirect', 'wc_custom_user_redirect', 10, 2 );
Delete the sign <?php on first line if you are having errors come up after saving the file.
If you need to change the URL for a specific role you can use the function get_permalink() passing the page ID to return its URL:
get_permalink( 150 );
This code will return the URL to the page with ID 150.
