I’m trying to redirect subscribers to specific private pages, one for each user. However, WordPress doesn’t allow subscribers to be accessed by administrators and editors only. If I assign author privileges, can I prevent users from accessing the backend?

ok I solved it using this code
funzione abilita_pagine_private_sottoscrittori() {
$subRole = get_role( ‘abbonato’ );
// Controlla se il ruolo esiste e aggiungi le capacità
if ( $subRole ) {
$subRole->add_cap( 'read_private_pages' );
$subRole->add_cap( 'read_private_posts' );
}
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘abilita_pagine_private_sottoscrittori’ );

for now to solve this I’m using a second plugin for the redirect, I’m just trying to simplify
Hi @jelux 👋
Thanks for sharing the details and for explaining what you’ve tried so far.
You’re right by default, private pages are only accessible to admins/editors, which is why your redirect wasn’t working earlier. The solution you found by granting read_private_pages and read_private_posts to subscribers is the correct approach 👍
Regarding simplifying things and handling redirects with our plugin:
Currently, there isn’t a built-in option to list private pages directly in the redirect dropdown. However, you can control the redirect behavior using a small snippet via the tlwp_login_redirect filter.
You can add the following code to your active child theme’s functions.php file or use the Code Snippets plugin:
<?php
add_filter('tlwp_login_redirect', 'custom_tlwp_login_redirect', 10, 2);
function custom_tlwp_login_redirect($url, $temporary_user) {
// Redirect to a specific private page
return home_url('/private-page-url/');
}
Note:
Make sure the user role you’re redirecting (e.g. Subscriber) has permission to view private pages otherwise, it will block access of the redirect.

Many thanks for your reply. What I need is a personalized link for each user. I don’t know if this is the same thing.
A private page for each user I register.
Hi @jelux,
You need to decide when and how the private page for the user should be created.
Once the page is created, save its link in a user_meta key. Then, retrieve that value inside the above function.
This will give you the redirect URL, which you can use to perform the redirect.
