   Hi people!

   I'm looking for a plugin (not sure there is a plugin for this) .. what I want to do is this:

   Subscribers now log-in, but are forwarded to the Dashboard.. I want them to be directed to the Frontpage instead. How do I do this?
   'example' (i'm just a designer, not a programmer ;) :
   if login = succesful & subscriber = true
   - go to frontpage
   if login = succesful & otherrole (but not subscriber) = true
   - go to dashboard

   Is there a plugin for this? Or how do I do this?

   Thanks in advance!!

   This gets you close. The "Redirect" can be put in the login form and redirect people where they need to be...

   As for switching on role, that is a little more complicated but hardly impossible.

   I often use a simple solution, 2 login forms. The native /wp-admin/ is kept but I add a new directory at site.com/login/ that is a copy (the HTML is fine) of the /wp-admin/ page with the redirect added.

   All your subscribers will go to /login/ and others to /wp-admin//

   Here is the hidden input:

   <input type="hidden" value="/index.php" name="redirect_to"/>

   Hope that helps a little.
