Security History
What It Does
WP Login and Logout Redirect lets administrators set custom URLs that users land on after logging in or logging out of a WordPress site. Configuration is handled through a simple settings page where you choose the destination page for each action. It focuses on doing one thing well: redirecting users away from the default wp-login.php behaviour.
Who It's For
This plugin suits site owners running small membership portals, client dashboards, or course platforms who want a branded post-login experience without writing custom code. It is also a reasonable pick for anyone who finds the default redirect behaviour of WordPress confusing for their visitors. With only 6,000 active installs, it is best suited to small or low-traffic projects rather than enterprise deployments.
Who Should Skip It
If you need role-based redirects, conditional logic based on user capabilities, or per-user custom landing pages, you should skip this plugin and use LoginWP instead. Developers comfortable adding a few lines to functions.php also do not need a dedicated plugin for basic redirect behaviour.
The Bottom Line
WP Login and Logout Redirect delivers exactly what its name promises and scores a solid 78.82 out of 100, with standout marks for maintenance and compatibility. Its main weakness is limited feature depth: there is no role-based logic, no per-user rules, and very little community data to lean on. For a basic membership or client portal where you just need one global redirect URL, it works, but most users will outgrow it quickly.
