 * I’ve tried everything, but WP-Admin is not redirected to where I want it (a specific
   plugin page within Wp-Admin.
 * I want to redirect only the EDITOR level.
 * It’s possible?

 * Redirect /wp-admin/index.php [https://site](https://site) .com/custom.php
 * This in htaccess works, but needed only for EDITORS.

 * No, it is not possible to redirect /wp-admin/ as people break their site.

 * Understand,
 * I changed this in .htaccess:
 * Redirect /wp-admin/index.php https:// site .com/custom
 * Should I worry?
 * Thanks and congratulations for the plugin!

 * Worry about what?
 * If you perform that redirect in .htaccess then it won’t be possible to detect
   if you are an editor, and everyone will be redirected.

 * making this change directly in .Htaccess

 * The above redirect has no impact on your site being hacked. WordPress will already
   redirect unauthorised users, and there is no need for any additional redirect.
