# Custom capabilities & url redirection

 * There seems to be a bug in using custom capabilities and url redirection together.
 * When a user logs in, I want the site to redirect them to their own welcome page,
   which is protected using custom capabilities.
 * For example, somebody with the username “john”, was custom capability “john”.
   I created a page with the slug /john-reports/ and set “john” to be a required
   custom capability for the page.
 * I set the special redirection link to be: [http://www.intelligo-group.com/%%current_user_nicename%%-reports](http://www.intelligo-group.com/%%current_user_nicename%%-reports)
 * When the person logs in, they get redirected to the Membership options page instead
   of their welcome page. If I type in [http://www.intelligo-group.com/john-reports](http://www.intelligo-group.com/john-reports)
   after they’re logged in, it goes to the correct page. Therefore the custom capabilities
   is working.
 * If I delete the custom capability from the john-reports page, the redirect works
   upon login, therefore the redirect is working.
 * However, together it is not working. How can we fix this?
    Thanks Nadav
 * Note: Setting [http://www.intelligo-group.com/%%current_user_ccaps%%](http://www.intelligo-group.com/%%current_user_ccaps%%)
   will actually redirect successfully to /john-reports/ though I don’t understand
   how it knows to go to that page. What if I have another page with the custom 
   capability “john”? And if I want to give a person a second custom capability,
   it tries to redirect to a url containing both CCs. Not a good / reliable solution.
