    Hi guys,

    This may seem like a strange request, but I would like my site to always redirect to /wp-admin. I’m using a tool call MainWP which is used to manage multiple WordPress sites, so I will never need to access the front end of the site.

    So, what I would like is to go to http://mysite.com and it display a login prompt for the backend. Then, when I login, it needs to go to http://mysite.com/wp-admin, or even better, http://mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mainwp_tab.

    Is this possible? I tried using htaccess for this, but I just got a /wp-admin/wp-admin/wp-admin/wp-admin loop.

    Thanks for any assistance guys!

    Kev

    I actually managed to fix this myself (should have researched more before posting sorry).

    I installed two plugins:

    http://wordpress.org/plugins/force-user-login/
    http://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/

    The first ensures that if you’re not logged in then you are re-directed to the login page. Using the “all other users” field on the “Peters Login Redirect” plugin allowed me to specify the URL that I wanted to be redirected to after a login.

    All seems to working great.

    If you are always redirecting to the wp-admin and you have no use at all for the front-end of WP you could probably do it using wp_redirect.

    Add the wp_redirect to a child theme of your current theme, copying the index.php to the child theme then adding

    wp_redirect( home_url('/wp-login.php') ); exit;

    Add that code right above the themes get_header hook on the index.php page.

    Then delete all your posts and pages.

    Do note that I have not tested it just a theory that should work and not require multiple plugins.

    Ah cool, I’ll look into that, thanks. Less plugins the better.

    You guys are everywhere!!! 🙂
