## Code

```php
if ( ! function_exists( 'llms_get_page_url' ) ) {
    return;
}

add_filter( 'login_redirect', function ( $redirect, $requested, $user ) {
    if ( ! $user instanceof WP_User || user_can( $user, 'edit_posts' ) ) {
        return $redirect;
    }

    if ( $requested && false === strpos( $requested, admin_url() ) ) {
        return $redirect;
    }

    $dashboard = llms_get_page_url( 'myaccount' );

    return $dashboard ? $dashboard : $redirect;
}, 10, 3 );
```

## Notes

Staff who can edit posts still go to wp-admin, and an explicit redirect_to link is respected.
