WooCommerce - Redirect Logged In Users Based on their Role

This is a query based around WooCommerce Membership and Subscriptions.

I must add that I'm also trying to decide if it's good UX to do what I'm doing.

There are many solutions to redirecting users after they log in but I have a situation where I want to redirect a user with the role of 'subscriber' when they click on specific links to pages that describe and allow you to become a member. So although I don't want to hide 'join now' etc I just want those to redirect to the my-account page.

Again there are various roles and redirect plugins but none seem to help in this specific scenario. So the source of the code I've used is here: SOURCE and I'm looking to do something like this:

function eks_redirect_users_by_role() {

    global $post;
    $current_user   = wp_get_current_user();
    $role_name      = $current_user->roles[0];


    if ( 'subscriber' === $role_name && $post->ID == 47145)  {
        wp_redirect( '/my-account' );
    } 

} 

add_action( 'admin_init', 'eks_redirect_users_by_role' );

So if the user role is a subscriber and they try and visit the page idea it's redirected.

At the current time, it does fall back to a product page which says 'you already have a membership' but it's multiple steps to arrive.

This might be more useful and proper way to achieve your request.

function redirection_based_user_role(){

    $current_user   = wp_get_current_user();
    $role_name      = $current_user->roles[0];
    $postid         = get_the_ID();

    if ( 'subscriber' === $role_name && $postid == 47145  ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( '/my-account' ), 301 );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirection_based_user_role' );

Hope this works.

I was able to achieve want I wanted to the following way:

function eks_redirect_user() {

    $current_user   = wp_get_current_user();
    $role_name      = $current_user->roles[0];
    $postid = get_the_ID();

    if ( 'subscriber' === $role_name && $postid == 47145  ) { ?>
        <script>
function redirectPage() {

    window.location = "/my-account/";
}

redirectPage();
</script>

<?php
        exit;
    }

}
add_action('wp_footer', 'eks_redirect_user' );

The issue is it's a fairly untidy solution as the redirect feels odd. I'm not sure if using wp_redirect would work better. I decided to do was just disable the button on the page with the main membership information rather than redirecting every call to action to the account page which seems like a more elegant solution.
