Best way to create a login page and redirect

What is the best way to create a registration page and a login page and then redirect the login to either the admin or a front end page depending on the logged-in person’s permissions?

Hello @AndrewTraub

I hope you are well today and thanks for asking the question.

Here is some tutorial of creating custom login and registration page:

https://wpmudev.com/blog/customize-wordpress-login/

For login redirect try something like the following code:
```
function admin_default_page() {

if(current_user_can(CAPABILITY) == SOMETHING)

return '/new-dashboard-url';

elseif(current_user_can(CAPABILITY) == SOME_OTHER_THING)

return '/another-url';

}



add_filter('login_redirect', 'admin_default_page');
```
Hope it helps! Please feel free to ask more question if you have.

Cheers

Thanks! The Theme My Login plugin mentioned in one of the posts may just do all that I need so I won’t have to roll anything myself.
