[Resolved] Mobile Billing

Hi guys!

My team and I are building a dating site that’ll be a mobile rebill, so in order to create (or complete) a profile, you first have to pay with your mobile subscription (otherwise the site cannot be accessed). Is it something that would be possible to achieve with BuddyPress? In other words, could we tweak the default signup so we have it working this way?

Thanks in advance,
Tony

Hi @tonymalony

Yes you can tweak the default sign up to do that. Also, consider using something like this to redirect logged-out users away from content you want accessible to logged-in members only.
```
function custom_redirect() {
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        // redirect
        wp_redirect( home_url() );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'custom_redirect' );
```

minor point: why wait until template_redirect?
I believe that is called after all the content has been queried.
So maybe do it sooner?
I usually hook on ‘wp’ or ‘wp_loaded’.

That is a massively good point @shanebp – could you even go up one level again and use init?

Use init?
Maybe, I’m not sure when is_user_logged_in() first becomes available.
