After login the user gets redirected to the original entry page. For advanced users a filter is provided to override the redirect. The principle behind this plugin is to redirect all users – from every post, page, archive, etc. – to the login page (usually wp-login.php). Except for the override filter it does nothing else. #### Overriding the redirect * **Note:** This plugin may not be for you, a membership plugin might be a better fit. Chris Lema writes excellent reviews of +30 membership plugins here: http:// chrislema.com/category/memberships-plugins/ If you do have a need for this plugin and you want to exclude specific views under specific conditions, a filter is provided to override the redirect. To override the redirect the filter must return a boolean value of `true`. WordPress core provides many conditional tags that either return `true` or `false` or you can write your own conditionals. Take a look at the Conditional Tags page on The WordPress Codex for some inspiration. https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags **Usage:** Copy/paste/edit an example to the functions.php of your theme or create a new file in wp-content/mu-plugins/ if you do not wish to edit your theme. _Note: Be carefull not to use multiple filters at the same time as that may cause unexpected results. Instead use multiple conditions in one filter._ * Override if the front page is either posts or a page: * add_filter( ‘rtl_override_redirect’, ‘is_front_page’ ); * Override if the post is ‘hello-world’: * add_filter( ‘rtl_override_redirect’, function() { return is_single( ‘hello-world’);}); * Override if the page is ‘sample-page’: * add_filter( ‘rtl_override_redirect’, function() { return is_page( ‘sample-page’);}); * Override if the page ID is 42, the slug is ‘sample-page’ or the title is ‘About Me’: * add_filter( ‘rtl_override_redirect’, function() { return is_page( array( 42,‘ sample-page’, ‘About Me’ ) ); }); * Override if the page ID is 42 or a post is ‘hello-world’: * add_filter( ‘rtl_override_redirect’, function() { if ( is_page( 42 ) || is_single(‘ hello-world’ ) ) { return true; } }); ## Installation 1.
