Can I redirect non-logged-in users to a specific page in BuddyPress?

BuddyPress is a popular plugin for WordPress that allows you to create social networking features on your website. It provides various components like user profiles, activity streams, groups, and more.

When it comes to redirecting users in BuddyPress, you have a few options depending on the specific scenario.

Here are some common scenarios and the corresponding methods to handle redirects:

1. Redirect after login: If you want to redirect users to a specific page after they log in to your BuddyPress site, you can use the bp_core_redirect() function. You can add the following code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:

php
function custom_login_redirect() {
bp_core_redirect( 'https://example.com/redirect-page' );
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_login_redirect', 'custom_login_redirect' );

In the above code, replace 'https://example.com/redirect-page' it with the URL of the page where you want to redirect users after login.

2. Redirect after registration: To redirect users to a specific page after they register on your BuddyPress site, you can use the bp_core_signup_user hook. Here’s an example code snippet:

php
function custom_registration_redirect( $user_id ) {
bp_core_redirect( 'https://example.com/redirect-page' );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'custom_registration_redirect', 10, 1 );

Replace 'https://example.com/redirect-page' with the desired URL where you want to redirect users after registration.

3. Redirect non-logged-in users: If you want to redirect users who are not logged in to a specific page, you can use the bp_template_redirect hook. Here’s an example code snippet:

php
function custom_non_loggedin_redirect() {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
bp_core_redirect( 'https://example.com/redirect-page' );
}
}
add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'custom_non_loggedin_redirect' );

Replace 'https://example.com/redirect-page' with the URL of the page where you want to redirect non-logged-in users.
