It’s simple and helps to provide a better user experience. Features include: * Redirect all normal users to their profile on login * If the admin logs in from site front page, redirect him back to front page. * If the Site Admin logs in from site backend, i.e. using http://yoursite.com/wp- login.php, let him go to the WordPress dashboard * Tested with BuddyPress 3.2 ### Other For more info visit us at [BuddyDev.com](https://buddydev.com/) ## Installation The plugin is simple to install: 1. Download `bp-redirect-to-profile.zip` 2. Unzip 3. Upload `bp-redirect-to-profile` directory to your `/wp-content/plugins` directory 4. Go to the plugin management page and enable the plugin, Activate the plugin sitewide Otherwise, Use the Plugin browser, upload it and activate, you are done. Please note, The plugin must be activated network wide if you are using multisite. ## FAQ ### Does It stops Users from getting inside the WordPress dashboard Yes, and No both. It does not allow user to directly go to the WordPress backend, but if a user manually tries to go to the WordPress backend, It does not stops it. This plugin’s sole purpose is to redirect users to their BuddyPress profile on login. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/36dff4104a1549b4e3fdcaa70cdf466e67422681c9c59eed475da510b3538a1c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works as expected](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-expected-754/)󠁿 [Martinez](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shockmartin/) June 13, 2022 Works as expected ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/924a891167f079ac894bf0118f53988dc07608ed32b1f89d8655ffae5de81d2e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-6909/)󠁿 [linda2020](https://profiles.wordpress.org/linda2020/) February 20, 2020 Nothing else than just installing it is needed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/27a48363a37175aee89ee73a9af62c8a2f5ef6137d6de113660e059a7bc3d8bb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-6051/)󠁿 [Anonymous User 16833488](https://profiles.wordpress.org/anonymized-16833488/) May 5, 2019 thank you for all the support for the buddypress users! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/69b81ac0505eea7d45cabddc7bf40d19f7a346f9dffbdbaf32de8bd6cba30c12? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It.
