Quick Login Redirect
Automatic redirects after Joomla login
Send users straight to the right place after they sign in. Choose which Joomla menu item each user group opens on the frontend and which component it lands on in the backend.
Free with up to three group rules · Pro for €19 per year
Give users the right starting point after login
Quick Login Redirect handles redirects for your website and the Joomla administrator area in a single plugin.
On the frontend, you can send members to their dashboard or take customers straight to their downloads after they sign in. In the backend, your editorial team can start directly in the Articles component.
Set up frontend and backend rules in separate tabs. After a successful login, the plugin checks the rules for that area and uses the first matching rule with a destination the user can access.
Where should users land after signing in?
Member areas
Send members to their dashboard or the landing page of your members-only area.
Customer downloads
Take customers straight to the menu item for their downloads after they sign in.
Editorial and admin teams
Send your team straight to the backend component they use every day.
