Landing page with login

Question

I would like to be able to force any un-registered users to the /welcome page - Currently I have set up the following:

if ( trim( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/' ) != 'welcome' && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {

wp_redirect( home_url( 'welcome' ), 301 );

exit;

}

This automatically re-directs visitors to the /welcome page. On the welcome page I have a login form, however the users cannot login because it re-directs them back to the welcome page after they hit the submit button. How can I set it up so where they can login through the welcome page and then be re-directed to the homepage after a successful login?

Answer 1

Try this: Paste it on functions.php (not tested)

add_action('template_redirect', 'my_user_redirect');

function my_user_redirect(){
  if(!is_user_logged_in()){ // only redirect use not logged in
    wp_redirect( home_url( 'welcome' ), 301 );
    exit;
  }
}

Let me know if it worked.
