Cookie Redirect (Contestify Cookie Redirect)

A WordPress plugin that redirects logged-in users to a configurable destination when a specific login cookie is present — with role exclusions, GA4 analytics, redirect logging, and admin milestone alerts.

Version: 2.0 · Stack: PHP, WordPress · License: GPL-2.0-or-later

What it does

Acts as a cookie-gated gateway: visitors carrying a configured login cookie are routed to a target URL (originally an app subdomain, now fully configurable), while excluded roles and the admin area are left untouched. Every redirect is counted and logged.

Key technical details

  • Cookie name/value, destination URL, excluded roles, and analytics are all admin-configurable options — the destination is settings-driven, not hardcoded.
  • GA4 integration: client-side gtag plus a server-side Measurement Protocol fallback (Measurement ID + API secret entered in settings).
  • Redirect counter, timestamp/IP logging, and CSV export; optional admin email alerts on redirect-count milestones.
  • Full settings panel; safe-guards against firing in admin/AJAX contexts.

Note: although named for its original deployment (contestify.io), the redirect target is a settings field — the plugin works as a general-purpose cookie-gated redirect.

Installation

  1. Copy to wp-content/plugins/wp-cookie-redirect/ and activate.
  2. Configure the cookie, destination URL, exclusions, and GA4 under Settings → Contestify Redirect.
