I have a site with a listings page (https://gymkoi.com/class-listings/) and all I'm trying to do is redirect a user who is not logged in to my login page (https://gymkoi.com/login/) before they can view an individual listing. If they are logged in then they can go straight to the individual listing.

I'd like to do this without having to use a plugin as this seems like it should be a relatively easy thing to do via php.

Thanks!

  • Quick question, after they login are they then directed to a page of listings or a specific listing? Commented May 21, 2020 at 20:12

You could set up a child theme, and in the single-listing.php template, add conditions around the current code.

<?php // If the user is not logged in, redirect if ( false == is_user_logged_in() ) { wp_redirect( wp_login_url() ); exit; } // Else the user is logged in; show the listing else { // Paste the regular template code here } ?>

Everything else will remain public, while just the individual listings will force the user to be logged in before they can view the content. (This will also prevent search engines from seeing the content, so bear that in mind.)

  • This is great thanks! One question (I'm a little new to php). How do I redirect to a custom login page vs the wp login page? I think wp_login_url() is sending me to the wp login page. How do I send them to gymkoi.com/login? Thanks so much! Commented May 21, 2020 at 19:18
  • That's correct - just replace wp_login_url() with '/' in quotes. Commented May 21, 2020 at 19:44

    Better yet, add a login form right inside the single-listing.php for when a user is not logged in. <?php wp_login_form(); ?> - developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_login_form Commented May 21, 2020 at 19:45
  • thank you very much for the help, will test these out. Commented May 21, 2020 at 21:47
