I am trying to develop an password role protection on my web. What I need to achieve is to redirect visitors to the login wp-login.php when they try to enter an specific page if they are Suscribers. WordPress doesn't give us that option so I had to develop myself (I don't want to use external plugins).
I had the role filter, but I can't find the filter to control which page is being loaded in order to redirect the visitor.
Add this code in your Function.php file.
using template_redirect action hook
This action hook executes just before WordPress determines which template page to load. It is a good hook to use if you need to do a redirect with full knowledge of the content that has been queried.
function template_redirect_fn()
{
//add you logic to perform your task
//Redirect page to login page
if(is_page ('about-us'))
{
$loginUrl = "LOGIN URL";
wp_redirect($loginUrl);
exit();
}
//if more then one page then used this
if( is_page( array( 'about-us', 'contact', 'management' ) )
// about us, or contact, or management page is in view
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'template_redirect_fn' );
