Hi everyone

My site is using the latest WordPress 6.8.2 with WordPress 2025 theme and BBPress community

In
27. Custom Redirect After Login

At address

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

The following dual-purpose redirect code:

/**
* WordPress function for redirecting users on login based on user role
*/
function my_login_redirect( $url, $request, $user ){
if( $user && is_object( $user ) && is_a( $user, ‘WP_User’ ) ) {
if( $user->has_cap( ‘administrator’ ) ) {
$url = admin_url();
} else {
$url = home_url();
}
}
return $url;
}
add_filter(‘login_redirect’, ‘my_login_redirect’, 10, 3 );

It is introduced that I have it in the php sippet file of the WordPress plugin code but I am getting the error

Your changes are saved but your snippet was deactivated due to an error, please check the syntax and try again. Error message: syntax error, unexpected token ;

It seems that there is a problem with the code.

Can anyone help to fix the problem?

now corrected in codes, to this

/**
* WordPress function for redirecting users on login based on user role
*/
function my_login_redirect( $url, $request, $user ){
if( $user && is_object( $user ) && is_a( $user, 'WP_User' ) ) {
if( $user->has_cap( 'administrator' ) ) {
$url = admin_url();
} else {
$url = home_url();
}
}
return $url;
}
add_filter('login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );
