## Description

After a user has logged in, the user will be redirected to the homepage
 instead
of the Dashboard when this plugin is activated. The plugin has no settings and should
work perfectly fine with Multisite installations (the plugin will use the blog url
and _not_ the main site url).

## FAQ

  Is this plugin actively being developed?

Yes and no. Let me explain:
 I consider this plugin to be feature complete and unless
bugs are found there will be no development on this plugin. In other words this 
plugin is in maintenance mode and will be maintained for the foreseeable future.
Due to other obligations I’m not always able to keep up with WordPress version’s
and updating this readme’s ‘Tested up to’ version number. However, unless WordPress
significantly changes the way the login_redirect filter works it should work perfectly
fine even though the ‘Tested up to’ might be of a lower version number. As always,
when in doubt, test it 🙂 (and when it does give you issues, feel free to leave 
a comment).

Vulkanisir . Sekarang ini seiring lesunya pasar lokal, regional dan nasional sangat
berpengaruh efeknya terhadap jasa logistik dan jasa transportasi khususnya usaha
transportasi darat. Pernah di temui beberapa waktu yang lalu seorang pengusaha logistik
dan kami sedikit berbincang, pengusaha tersebut pada intinya mengatakan sedang kesulitan
merealisasikan kebutuhan rutin kendaraan yaitu; pembelian ban yang menjadi penunjang
keberlangsungan usahanya… Dengan demikian disini kami akan memberikan alternatif
yang sangat berguna dan akan menjadi solusi untuk meringankan biaya pembelian ban
dengan merenovasi kembali ban bekas kendaraan anda melalui di vulkanisir.
