 Re: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/4.9.8/wp-login.php#L965

 I understand checking if $redirect_to is empty, but why specifically
 intercept users without 'edit_posts' capability that do have 'read'
 capability?

 Here's some code that I am using to override this:

 I'm hoping this snippet will not be needed in the future.

 Thank you.
