Switch To link destination

    I just followed the response to ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/include-user-switching-link-outside-users-php/ to create a “Switch To” link on the frontend which worked great. However, I’d like to extend this so that the link redirects to a specific page not just whatever the default “redirect_login” points to.

    Currently, it just takes the user who clicked “Switch To” to whatever is the default page in “redirect_login” (i.e. /wp-admin/).

    It is worth noting that I don’t want to change the link above globally, but just for the specific frontend usage above to take me to a specific page instead.

    In other words, the “Switch To” link from the “users.php” page should still take me to the default “/wp-admin/” page, but the “Switch To” link created on the frontend using the guide above should take me to a specific page after switching me to that user. Is there anyway to achieve this? If not, any plans to add such functionality would be great.

    Yeah you can add a redirect_to parameter to the link and it’ll redirect the user there after they switch.

    $link = user_switching::maybe_switch_url( $user );

if ( $link ) {
    $link = add_query_arg( 'redirect_to', rawurlencode( 'destination.php' ), $link );
}

    Oh my god! That is amazing. Thank you John!
    It doesn’t affect the link globally and it worked like a charm.
