Redirect after Login on WordPress

This should solve your problem. Adapted from an answer found here.

Add the following snippet of code in the functions.php file of your theme:

function admin_default_page() {
  return '/new-dashboard-url';
}

add_filter('login_redirect', 'admin_default_page');

It worked fine after updating the search.php as following,

<?php

get_header();

//Page Title Bar
$pageTitle = 'Search results for: "'.get_search_query().'"';
echo page_title_bar( $pageTitle, get_template_directory_uri().'/framework/assets/images/pg-title-bar.jpg');
?>

<div class="container blog-wrapper page-container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-lg-9 col-md-9 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
            <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

                <?php
                    // Include Blog Posts List
                    get_template_part('framework/template-parts/post/blog', 'post-list');
                ?>

            <?php endwhile; ?>

            <div class="pagination-wrapper">
                <?php pagination(); ?>
            </div>

            <?php else: ?>
                <h3>No results found for: '<?php echo get_search_query(); ?>'</h3>
            <?php endif; ?>
        </div>

        <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
            <?php
                // Include Blog Sidebar
                get_template_part('framework/template-parts/post/blog', 'sidebar');
            ?>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>


<?php get_footer(); ?>

If I get a reasonable and well described answer I can offer the bounty for that answer.

You will need to modify users controller. But to keep it "update proof" you cannot modify the core code, thats why we will make an override:

1. Go to the components/com_users/controllers/ and duplicate a file called user.php, you can call a new file user2.php
2. Open user2.php file and rename controller class to UsersControllerUser2
3. Create a template override of your login module (to make it update proof also), create a templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/mod_login folder and copy modules/mod_login/tmpl/default.php file there.
4. Open file created in step 3 and change login module task from <input type="hidden" name="task" value="user.login" /> to <input type="hidden" name="task" value="user2.login" />
5. Open user2.php file once again, and modify this part of code (around lines 77-82):

$app->redirect(JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=login', false));

Change $app->redirect route to whatever you want :)
