Wordpress Blog has an infinite redirect loop

Question

i added the following code in the Header.php

<?php     
if ( !is_user_logged_in() ){    
?>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=<?php wp_login_url(); ?>">
<?php exit;    
   }    
else {
}

to redirect a user who is not logged in to wp-login.php i didn't use wp_redirect as it was not working properly. code was working fine but some how today it is causing infinity loop. i have placed the code in header.php and i don't think wp-login.php calls header.php can some one tell me what's the problem here or any other suggestion thanks

Answer 1

Try using this in your header:

<?php 

if( ! is_user_logged_in() ) 
{
    wp_redirect( wp_login_url() );
    exit();
}
