Extend the List of Allowed Domains for wp_safe_redirect()
What is the difference between using wp_redirect() and wp_safe_redirect() functions actually?
The thing is that wp_redirect() allows to perform redirections just anywhere, but wp_safe_redirect() by default allows only the domain specified as Site Address (URL) in Settings > General.
In this tutorial I will show you how you can add any domain as an allowed domain for wp_safe_redirect() function using allowed_redirect_hosts action hook.
Here is how to do that:
add_filter( 'allowed_redirect_hosts', 'rudr_extend_allowed_domains_list' );
function rudr_extend_allowed_domains_list( $hosts ){
$hosts[] = 'wordpress.com';
$hosts[] = 'misha.rudrastyh.com';
return $hosts;
}

Hello Misha thanks for the example. I’m trying to use the login form in an external (codeigniter/CI) application. It runs in a folder *under* the wordpress site: WP URL: something.com/wp, CI URL: something.com/wp/portal. I added the whole CI URL in the CI app but not sure it does work. Should this work for a subfolder? Thanks!
This was very helpful in getting my logout redirect to go to the next link in a logout chain. Thanks for taking the time to post it!
