Redirect non logged in subscriber to different page when trying to access private page

CMS & WordPress
1

Hi,

I have a set of nav buttons that appear only when the subscriber logs in, as they in a second menu that again only appears once the subscriber has logged in.

I have made the pages private and used the code below to allow the pages to work once the subscriber logs in.

 // Allow subscribers to see Private posts and pages

 $subRole = get_role( 'subscriber' ); 
 $subRole->add_cap( 'read_private_posts' );
 $subRole->add_cap( 'read_private_pages' );

Works fine as you know, but what I want to do is extend that code so that if someone tries to access those pages without being logged in they get re-directed to /sim-racing-registration/, so instead of seeing the Oops! page they get the opportunity to ‘Register’ or ‘Log in’.

Hello @multichild

You can accomplish a redirect to a certain page from another page for non-logged in users as such:

Place this code in your functions.php file in your theme

add_action( 'admin_init', 'redirect_non_logged_users' );

function redirect_non_logged_users() {
		if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
			wp_redirect( home_url( '/sim-racing-registration/' ) ); 
		exit;
	};
}

Then, place this code at the very top of any private template page that you do not want non-logged in users to view:

<?php redirect_non_logged_users(); ?>

When a user who is not logged in tries to visit your private pages, it will redirect them to the /sim-racing-registration/ page assuming that your page is located at http://yourwebsite.com/sim-racing-registration/ else, you will need to update the code above for your functions.php file to point to the correct page location.
