Redirect User on Login based on role WP 3 - Multi-Site

Question

I need to have users land on a specific admin page based on user role in WP 3.0 multi-site enabled. I found this

function fb_redirect_2() {

    if ( preg_match('#wp-admin/?(index.php)?$#', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ) {
        if ( function_exists('admin_url') ) {
            wp_redirect( admin_url('edit-comments.php') );
        } else {
            wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/' . 'edit-comments.php' );
        }
    }
}
if ( is_admin() )
    add_action( 'admin_menu', 'fb_redirect_2' );

And changed

if ( is admin() ) 

to

if ( current_user_can('edit_posts') )

but this isn't working...

Any Suggestions?

Answer 1

you need to populate the

current_user_can('') 

function before using it using

  get_currentuserinfo();

so try this code:

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'fb_redirect_2' );

function fb_redirect_2(){
    get_currentuserinfo();
    if ( current_user_can('edit_posts')){
    //redirect here
    }
}
