What Login Redirect Manager can do for you
One list for every landing page
After login, after logout, first login and opening the site all live in one rule list, ordered by priority.
Rules for exactly the right people
Match by account, user group, access level, IP address or range, language, the page they signed in from, or a date window.
A proper first welcome
Send new members to a welcome or onboarding page on their first login, then to their usual page after that.
Guests to sign in, members to their area
Opening-the-site rules can send guests to the login page and remembered sessions to their own area, on the front page only or any page.
Test before anyone logs in
The simulator runs the same engine as a real login and shows which rule wins and why, without signing anyone in.
Priorities that read like a plan
Lower numbers are checked first: people and source pages, then roles, then a general fallback. The first match wins.
Safe destinations
Point at a menu item, with its language association, or a URL. External hosts are allowed only from your list, and loops back to login are refused.
Move rules between sites
Export every rule to JSON, then check the file and preview it in the simulator before you save it on another site.
How it works in 3 steps
Install
Install the package. The component and both plugins come together.
Add a rule
Pick the event, who it's for and where they should land.
Simulate
Try a person in the simulator, then publish the rule.
Compatibility
FAQ
Which Joomla and PHP versions does it support?
Joomla 5 and Joomla 6, with PHP 8.1 or later.
What about Joomla's own Redirect on Login plugins?
While Login Redirect Manager is enabled it switches those plugins off, so each login has one destination.
Does it change anyone's groups or permissions?
No. Rules only decide where people land. The optional preferred group on an account affects rule matching only.
Can I redirect administrator logins too?
Yes. Each rule can apply to the public site, the administrator or either, and Super Users keep their way into the administrator.
Can I send people to another website?
Yes, if you add that host to the external URL allow list. With the policy off, every destination stays on your site.
Can I check a rule without logging in as that person?
Yes. The simulator shows which rule wins and why, without signing anyone in.
