WordPress login redirect issue

[dipakparmar2007]

The 'login_redirect' hook is not work in WordPress version 6.1.1.

I set default themes.

// Hook into the login_redirect filter
add_filter('login_redirect', 'custom_login_redirect', 10, 3);

function custom_login_redirect($redirect_to, $request, $user) {
   
        return home_url('/dashboard/');

}

if ( isset( $_POST['action'] ) && $_POST['action'] == 'log-in' ) {

    $user_login = $_POST['user_login'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];
    $user_data = array(
	 'user_login' => $user_login,
	 'user_password' => $password,
	 'remember' => true
	);

	$user = wp_signon( $user_data );

	if ( ! is_wp_error( $user ) ) {
	 	$user_id = $user->ID;
	    if ( $user_id ) {
	        $url = site_url().'/dashboard/';
		    wp_redirect( $url );
		    exit;     
	    }  
	} else {
	 	$error_message = $user->get_error_message();
	}

}



<form action="" method="post" class="sign-in">
	<div class="form_group">
		<label for="user_login"><?php _e('Username'); ?></label>
				        
		<input type="text" name="user_login" class="input_control" id="user_login" value="" />
	</div>
	<div class="form_group">
		<label for="password"><?php _e('Password'); ?></label>
		<input type="password" class="input_control" name="password" id="password" />
	</div>
	<div class="forgot"><a href="<?php echo site_url(); ?>/forgot-password/">Forgot Password?</a></div>
	<div class="form_footer">
		<button type="submit"><?php _e('Log in'); ?></button>
		<input type="hidden" name="action" value="log-in" />
	</div>
</form>

Hello @dipakparmar2007,

Welcome to WordPress Core's Trac. I'm sorry to hear you are having difficulty with your site after updating to 6.6.1.

I tested (see test report comment:4) using the sample callback you shared. I'm unable to reproduce the issue. In my testing:

• The site redirects to Dashboard page.
• 'login_redirect' filter is working.

I'm not sure about the extra code shared in the description, but am assuming that's the custom code being used.

As not able to reproduce and with the information shared, the reported issue does not appear to be a Core bug. Closed this ticket as worksforme.

Where you can find help?
You can find people who are able to assist with your site in the ​WordPress support forums.
