Automatic logged-in Page Redirect

The Automatic logged-in Page Redirect plugin is a WordPress plugin that redirects logged-in users to a custom page when they try to access a page. In the same way, you can configure that users that are not logged in are getting redirected somewhere else. It works in combination with the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin. If you set the ACF Field "Redirect to Page if Logged in" (redirect_to_page_if_logged_in) and another field "Redirect to Page if NOT Logged in" (redirect_to_page_if_not_logged_in), then it will automatically redirect you from there if it is set.
Additionally you can specify redirects in the url. If you set a query parameter "redirect_logged_in", the user will be redirected to the value of this parameter if he/she is logged in. By specifying the query parameter "redirect_logged_out", a user that is not logged in gets redirected.
If both the ACF and the query param is set, the query param has more priority and the user will be redirected to the url specified by the query param.
