   I have a custom page template which forces a login if not currently logged in.
   It uses the PHP header() function, as in:

   header("Location: /wp-login.php");

   But this bypasses SimpleModal Login.
   How can I invoke the modal login from PHP?

   @flymike - since SimpleModal Login is a client-side modal, you are going to have to find a creative "work around" to make this work.

   There are a number of different options, but here's one that might be the easiest to implement:

   Place this JavaScript in your theme:

   <script>
   jQuery(function ($) {
       if(window.location.hash === "#login") {
           $('.simplemodal-login').trigger('click.simplemodal-login');
       }
   });
   </script>

   Update your redirect to include the login hash:

   header("Location: /index.php#login");

   Hope that helps.
