Redirect to login if not logged in

[Tyler]

Hi,

How do I set up a redirect that goes to the login page if the use is not logged in already? Currently, my site just shows the blank template?

@msutyler2 I would recommend one of two options here. If you want to have paid memberships look at S2 plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/. If you just want to restrict the site to logged-in members only, I would try Private Site – https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-private-site/. To go with those two plugins you can also restrict menu items to a Role if you needed to do that as well – https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the response. I am using PMPro to restrict content on the other site in my multisite. The users from siteA.com get access to siteB.com/community , aka the buddypress site. The issue is that everything on http://www.siteA.com is correctly locked unless you are logged in. But when you go to siteb.com/community, when you are not logged in, the blank template of bossTheme shows.

So just so I understand you correctly. There is not a feature within buddypress like a checkbox “Users Must be Logged In” or “If User is not logged in send to Login screen”.

Because you can also type in http://www.siteA.com/community/members/user1/ and it will take you to that users profile page. This seems odd to me that non logged in users can have access to the entire community?

Thanks again

@msutyler2 I’ve not used PMPro but Private Site is to be extended to include MultiSite networks. You’re correct in thinking Buddypress has not default function to restrict access. Odd I know. I would ask the question on their support forums, or have a search on there. Pretty sure this will have been asked before.

Thanks for the recommendations. I was able to use Jon Radio to do what I partially want. It does redirect to the login page and I’ve used an URL converter to hide the wp-login.

Would love to redirect to an external page aka Site A but haven’t found a plugin that has worked yet. But this should do for now.

Thanks again.

@msutyler2 You could try raising the query with the author of Jon Radio, the support’s good.
