These filters allow you to customize the login and authentication experience.

​
sc_login_redirect_url

Filter the redirect URL after login. 
add_filter( 'sc_login_redirect_url', function( $url ) {
    // Redirect to custom dashboard
    return home_url( '/my-account/' );
} );

// Or redirect based on user role
add_filter( 'sc_login_redirect_url', function( $url ) {
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    
    if ( in_array( 'subscriber', $user->roles ) ) {
        return home_url( '/member-dashboard/' );
    }
    
    return $url;
} );

​
Disable Password Nag

Control whether new users see the password change nag after their account is created with a random, temporary password. SureCart uses default WordPress functionality for best compatibility, so you can use the get_user_metadata filter to intercept the default_password_nag user meta check. 
add_filter( 'get_user_metadata', function( $value, $object_id, $meta_key, $single ) {
    if ( 'default_password_nag' === $meta_key ) {
        return ''; // Return empty to prevent password nag from showing
    }
    return $value;
}, 10, 4 );

        if ( $redirect ) {
          return esc_url( $redirect );

    // Check session/cookie for original page
    if ( isset( $_COOKIE['sc_original_page'] ) ) {
        $redirect = esc_url( $_COOKIE['sc_original_page'] );
        setcookie( 'sc_original_page', '', time() - 3600, '/' );
