Clicking Profile Page When Logged Out Doesn’t Redirect To Login Page

Resolved 8bit7

Expected: a logged out user clicks a link to go to their profile, it redirects to the login page

Actual: it refreshes the page (or possibly fails to redirect?)

Not sure if bug or feature 🙂

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

I added the code below to functions.php to try to force it, but it’s still not redirecting.

function add_login_redirect() {
    if ( is_page('profile')  &&  !is_user_logged_in() ){
        wp_redirect( site_url( '/login' ) );
    }
}

add_action('template_redirect', 'add_login_redirect');

So, got it working in functions.php, but still would be awesome to have it in the plugin. Here’s the code for future googlers.

// Redirect logged out users who visit the profile page
function login_redirect() {

    // Get current page 
    global $pagenow;

    // Check to see if user in not logged in and also on the profile page
    if(!is_user_logged_in() && $pagenow = is_page('profile'))
          // If user is, redirect to login form.
          auth_redirect();
}

add_action( 'wp', 'login_redirect' );
