How to redirect non logged in users to Login page on WordPress?

4 comments

1. Take a look here

   https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-auth_redirect-to-specific-page

   <?php
   if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
       wp_redirect('http://somepagehere');
       exit;
   }
   ?>
   

   You can also add this to your functions.php file instead of what I said before:

   function admin_redirect() {
   if ( !is_user_logged_in()) {
      wp_redirect( home_url('/{custom page goes here}/') );
      exit;
   }
   }
   add_action('get_header', 'admin_redirect');
   

2. There are a lot of different ways to do this based on what your ultimate goal is (use WP login page, a custom login page, etc…). You can try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file:

   if ( ( is_single() || is_front_page() || is_page() || is_archive() || is_tax() )
       && ! is_page( 'login' ) && ! is_page('register') && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
       auth_redirect(); 
   }
   

   Or you can use the plugin, Force Login

   UPDATE

   Theoretically, you can probably just use this, just haven’t tested…

   if( ! is_page('login') && ! is_page('register') && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
       auth_redirect(); 
   }
   

3. Just use this wordpress plugin
   https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-user-access/
   to control who can/ can’t access your website.

   You may get tons of similar plugins if you googled it.

4. What you want it to check if the user is not currently trying to login or register, if not redirect them to whatever page you’d like.

   if ( !is_user_logged_in() && !is_page( 'login' ) && ! is_page('register') ) {
      //redirect user, create account with them, do a hoola-hoop
   }
   

   Be sure to place this code in your page file before get_header();
