I found so many people discussing this on the buddypress forum, so I went ahead and thought to experiment a little.
You are going to need this trick if you are Buddypress site owner/developer and want to redirect your users to their profile on login.
My goal is:
- Redirect a user to their profile, whether they login through yoursite.com/wp-login.php or any other page(In buddypress, we usually see a login box at all site pages
) - If site admin is logging in from front page of site, redirect back to front page.
- If site admin is logging from the site back end, i.e site.com/wp-login.php, send him to dashboard(wpmu dashboard)
So, I experimented a little and the filter “login_redirect” saved me a lot of hassle.
here is the code snippet to make it happen.
/*let us filter where to redirect */
add_filter("login_redirect","bpdev_redirect_to_profile",10,3);
function bpdev_redirect_to_profile($redirect_to_calculated,$redirect_url_specified,$user)
{
if(empty($redirect_to_calculated))
$redirect_to_calculated=admin_url();
/*if the user is not site admin,redirect to his/her profile*/
if(!is_site_admin($user->user_login))
return bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID );
else
return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/
}
Put it inside your plugins/bp-custom.php or create a new php file and put this in mu-plugins folder.
I Hope It helps.
Note: Now there is a plugin for it, you can download it from here
http://buddydev.com/buddypress/bp-redirect-to-profile-plugin-redirect-users-to-their-profile-on-login-on-buddypress-sites/
and yeh! do not forget to let me know, how it went with you, you experiences.

Thanks for the trick, it works @ buddypress!
I’m just wondering,
if I want site admin also be redirected to his profile, what should I change in
if(!is_site_admin($user->user_login))Thanks!
Hi Natalie,
Thanks for the comment.
Please change this
if(!is_site_admin($user->user_login))
return bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID );
else
return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/
to
return bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID );
That should do it.
Thanks a lot Brajesh!
Hi Brajesh,
I’d like to have two different home pages: one for logged users and other for non-logged users. What I have to change in your code to redirect the user to a specific the home page for logged-users? I don’t want to use the profile page as home page.
Thank you!
Hi Tazek,
what will be the urls for the logged in user/non logged in user, I mean you will be using something like site.com/abc for logged in or non logged in, please let me know in a little detail and I will put the code.
Thanks
Brajesh
Hi Brajesh,
Suppose that my website URL is: http://www.tazek.com.
If a non-logged user visit this URL, then I want to display only the public content and also links to login form and register form.
If a logged user visit this URL, then I want to redirect him to http://www.tazek.com/private/, then I want to display the private content.
I don’t know how to:
- Check if the user is logged and redirect him to the private website (www.tazek.com/private) if he’s logged;
- Check if the user is logged and redirect him to the public website (www.tazek.com) if he isn’t logged;
- Always redirect the user to http://www.tazek.com/private/ the log-on process.
Thank you!
Hi Brajesh, I wrote something wrong. The last line is:
- Always redirect the user to http://www.tazek.com/private/ after the log-on process.
Hi,
disable the plugin and use this code
https://gist.github.com/1105039
either in bp-custom.php or in functions.php of your theme. Hope that helps.
Well this is what worked for me i Downloaded it ran into a few errors.
This is what fixed it all so it works great hope it helps people in the future.
Keep the good work up.

Hi Ron,
if you use this version from the github, you won’t need to edit.
https://github.com/sbrajesh/bp-redirect-to-profile
The is_site_Admin is deprecated and we now use is_super_admin() in place of that.
Thanks
Brajesh
I’m just trying to figure out the code I would need to determine if a user is an admin or group admin, and if so display ABC set of links, but if not display XYZ set of links. I’ve been playing around with the code here a bit but no luck.
Hi Alan,
sorry the above code is not about detecting if the user is siteadmin/group admin. You can check it by using is_super_admin and also you will need to check like the code here(for finding if user is admin of any group)
