ES Login Redirect Manager is a flexible redirect manager for Joomla 5 and Joomla 6. Create rules that send users to the right page based on who they are, which Joomla groups they belong to, where they logged in from, and other useful conditions.

Main Features

• Redirect by User or User Group: Send different Joomla users or groups to different destinations after login.
• Multiple User Groups: Select one or more Joomla groups inside the same rule.
• Preferred Group: Define which group should control redirect matching when a user belongs to multiple Joomla groups.
• Source URL Rules: Apply different redirects depending on the frontend page where login or logout occurs.
• After Login Redirects: Send users directly to dashboards, member areas, customer pages, or other destinations.
• First Login Redirects: Guide new users to a welcome page, onboarding page, or other first-login destination.
• After Logout Redirects: Control where users are sent after signing out.
• Rule Priority: Specific rules can run before general rules. The first matching enabled rule wins.
• Built-in Simulator: Test redirect rules before going live and preview the matched rule, final target, and evaluation trace.
• Internal and External Destinations: Redirect to Joomla menu items, internal URLs, or controlled external URLs.
• External URL Protection: Use whitelist or blacklist policies for external redirects.
• Safe Fallbacks: Includes redirect-loop protection, safe fallback behavior, and Super User protection.
• Import / Export: Back up redirect rules or move them between Joomla websites.

Use Cases

• Member and subscription websites
• Customer dashboards
• Partner and reseller portals
• Author or editor areas
• Private download pages
• First-login onboarding
• Campaign-specific login pages
• Custom logout landing pages
• Company intranets
• Websites where users belong to multiple Joomla groups

Built-in Simulator

The Simulator uses the same rule engine as live redirects.

Select a user and context to see:

• Matched Rule
• Target
• Evaluation Trace

This makes it easier to understand complex rule combinations before applying them to real users.

Preferred Group

Joomla users can belong to several groups at the same time.

ES Login Redirect Manager lets you optionally assign a Preferred Group to an individual user. This controls group matching inside redirect rules without changing the user's Joomla groups, ACL permissions, or Viewing Access Levels.

Flexible Destinations

Redirect users to:

• Joomla Menu Items
• Internal URLs
• External URLs

External redirects can be disabled completely or controlled using whitelist and blacklist rules.
