Redirect user to a custom URL after login

In a WordPress website there can be tons of user and many of them can have different purpose of using the website. As WordPress can be used to build multi-purpose website so, user requirements can be different from one to another. If you are running a membership website where your user can register as a member and then pay for any service or facilities from your website. In that case, you might need to show the correct membership page after login/registration to certain users or for a group of users.

As by default most of the login/registration functionality redirects the user to account/profile page for that reason, your user failed to find the correct page at a glance.

Even sometimes, you might need the user to read a terms and condition or a blog post after login. But you can not do that because WordPress does not have default feature to redirect any user to a custom URL or Non WordPress URL after login.
