    if ( ! $user instanceof WP_User || user_can( $user, 'edit_posts' ) ) {
        return $redirect_to;
    }

    // Respect explicit front-end destinations such as a "log in to comment" link.
    if ( $requested && false === strpos( $requested, admin_url() ) ) {
        return $redirect_to;
    }

    return home_url( '/' );
