Help with homepage redirect to Profile Page

    I want my users to be redirected from my homepage to their profile page if they are already logged into their account. This redirect will be on the homepage itself, basically once a user is logged into their account they will never be able to see the home page again. If they click on the ‘home’ tab it will take them to their profile page. Here is what I think the code should look similar to…

    if ($loggedin == "true" ) {
    //redirect to buddypress profile page
} else { 
   // dont do anything
}

    I have no clue if $loggedin is correct or if this is even the right format. I would really appreciate any help on this topic so I can move on with my site 🙂 Hopefully I have give you enough information to understand what i’m trying to do.

    I’m still a little confused. Is that code only for when the user logs in? I want it so that anytime the user goes to my homepage if they are logged in it will redirect them to their profile page. So I will be putting this code into the homepage template
    Should it look like this?

    if ( !is_user_logged_in() && ( $bp_unfiltered_uri[0] != $bphelp_my_front_page ) )
header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/' ) ; );

elseif(none);

}

    Should $bphelp_my_front_page be replace with ‘True’ or ‘Yes’?
    Thanks

    You don’t need to put any code in your homepage template. @bphelp’s code goes into your bp-custom.php file.

    I am using a slightly different method. Copy and paste this into your theme’s functions.php file. 

    //redirect logged in users away from homepage to their profile page
function bp_homepage_to_profile() {
	global $bp;
	
	if(is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_front_page()) {
		wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
	}
		
}

add_action('wp','bp_homepage_to_profile');
