We ended up putting a redirect in like recommended in the stack overflow article noted above for now. Essentially:

add_action( ‘login_head’, ‘wpse_redirect_login’, 1 );
function wpse_redirect_login() {
if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect( admin_url() );
}
}

It does this trick… When the plugin redirects the user to the Login screen (we check to see if the user is already logged in and, if so, we bounce them back, but couldn’t there just be a check to see if the user is already authenticated/logged in before sending them to the login screen?

Thinking about this, perhaps the simplest would be to check if the user is “Logged in” before re-directing them to the login page and doing:

if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
LOG THEM OUT //My pseudo code :<) );
}

If you’re going to send them to the login page anyway, because of the “Send anonymous users to login screen” being checked then just log them out so they are in a predictable state for the Login. I’m not a programmer, so I’m not sure why the Plugin thinks they are “anonymous” while WordPress sees them as already logged in, but this only seems to happen when you come to the site for the first time, like entering the URL, so it shouldn’t be a major inconvenience and certainly less inconvenience that the way it is today where we have to tell the users to click on the “back to <website> link.
