 * Could you please explain how the “Redirection” feature works?
 * I assumed that putting a URL into that box would take me to the URL after I logged
   into the Admin area.
 * However, it isn’t redirecting me, so I’m guessing, I either don’t understand 
   what it does, or I’m not doing something correctly.
 * I added a URL similar to the following:
 * [http://mywebsite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php](http://mywebsite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php)
 * I look forward to your response. Thanks!

 * The rewrite is after login on the default login functions. Add a url to the page,
   that will see the user after the login, incl. http://
 * On default, the user land on the dashbaord after login. Which this function can
   you add a new page for landing after login.
 * I hope it, that you understand now?
