Question

I’m trying to redirect users to a custom page I made when they log in, but I’m not sure I have it right. I don’t know exactly which function or variables to use. I want to use the index.php as a way to redirect users. I’m working in wordpress latest, as well as buddypress latest.

So ok, this is what I have:

function my_redirect() {
    global $bp;

    if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->root_domain ) {
        bp_core_redirect($bp->root_component == MY_CUSTOM_SLUG  );
    }
}

The slug I created is in the root, so it looks like this:
www.mysite.com/mypage

Any ideas?

This can be achieved using redirect_to in your login links. This will require editing of your template.

$redirect_url = "www.mysite.com/mypage"
// if $redirect_url exists, it will add it, otherwise print the regular login link
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-login.php<?php
if($redirect_url) {echo "?redirect_to=".urlencode($redirect_url)."\"";}?>  >
log in
</a>

This will probably make you want to cut your face off at some point, since you will have to edit the template every time you want to change your redirect page.
