@henrywright This conditional tag doesn’t seem to work for me. When a subscriber tries to access a specific tab within a group or their profile I want to redirect them to my sales page. I got this to work fine with the ‘events’ page on member profiles but not groups. Using bp_is_groups_component() redirects all group pages, not just the events page.

Here’s the code I am using:

function wp_redirectauser() {
    if ( current_user_can('subscriber') AND bp_is_groups_component('events') ) {
        wp_redirect( 'http://www.mywebsite.com/sales-page/' );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'wp', 'wp_redirectauser' );

Any ideas on how to get this to work with just the ‘events’ group page? I’m new to all this so maybe I am just missing something in my function.

Best Regards,

Mark

@henrywright Thanks Henry, unfortunately your function didn’t work either, however, you put me on the right track! Before speaking to you I had already sworn off bp_is_groups_component(). Interestingly enough bp_is_current_action is also needed alongside it to do what I need.

Here’s what worked:

function wp_redirectauser() {
    if ( current_user_can('subscriber') && bp_is_groups_component() && bp_is_current_action( 'events' ) ) {
        wp_redirect( 'http://www.mywebsite.com/sales-page/' );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'wp', 'wp_redirectauser' );

@henrywright Hi Henry, I was referring to this one:

if ( bp_is_groups_component() && bp_is_current_item( 'events' ) ) {
    // Code.
}

I had to use bp_is_current_action( 'events' ) in place of bp_is_current_item( 'events' )

No problem @henrywright, thank you for your help. My coding experience is nil so it has been an interesting experience as I have to Google around for everything. It’s great to have this forum which is full of code snippets to use/modify and experts like yourself to ask for help when I hit a wall. Thanks!
