I know this is a question asked million times but I can’t find an answer that is either fitting the version of WordPress now and/or my particular case.
I have a WordPress website with Buddypress installed on it.
I want that :
– Not logged in users can see only the page wp-login.php
– Logged in users can access the whole website
I just can’t figure it out, it is impossible. Either I change the site address or assign a page, or fuctions… Nothing works, all the time an error or a 404 page error etc…
Basically : you arrive on the website, you are not logged in = Wp-Login.php, if you are logged in page “members”
Thank you !
Take a look here

You can also add this to your functions.php file instead of what I said before:
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:
Or you can use the plugin, Force Login
UPDATE
Theoretically, you can probably just use this, just haven’t tested…
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.
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.
Be sure to place this code in your page file before get_header();
