$urllinkin = remove this from your code.
Further more here is the code for login redirect (Check official docs),
function my_login_redirect( $redirect_to, $request, $user ) {
//is there a user to check?
if ( isset( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
//check for admins
if ( in_array( 'administrator', $user->roles ) ) {
// redirect them to the default place
return $redirect_to;
} else {
return home_url();
}
} else {
return $redirect_to;
}
}
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );
For redirection, you can use wp_redirect default function too.
Here is your updated code,
function wpdocs_my_login_redirect( $url, $request, $user ) {
if ( $user && is_object( $user ) && is_a( $user, 'WP_User' ) ) {
if ( $user->has_cap( 'administrator' ) ) {
$url = admin_url();
} else {
$url = home_url( '/members-only/' );
}
}
return $url;
}
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'wpdocs_my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );
