[Resolved] Redirect users to Registration other wise set Activity as front page

I’ve tried the following to redirect users to Registration page if not logged in and to the Activity page if logged in.

In WordPress, I set the “Front page:” to Activity (Activity is a WordPress Page that is set to Activity Streams in the BP Page settings tab)

In my theme’s functions.php file, I’ve added:
```
add_action( 'init', 'redirect_visitors' );
function redirect_visitors() {
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_register_page()) {
		wp_redirect( 'http://www.mysite.org/my-site-registration' );
        exit;
   }
}
```
However, when wp_redirect( 'http://www.mysite.org/my-site-registration' ) is run. There is a redirect loop on the registration page.

I was led to doing it this way because if I set the WordPress Front page: to the page I have set as the registration page, the site redirects the visitor to the Members page once logged in. I haven’t found a way to change this to be anything other than the Members page.

IN SUMMARY: I would like a user who visits the homepage of my site to see the Registration Page. I would like uses, once they are logged in, or already logged in, to see the Activity Stream as the front page.

Hey @braun_trutta! Try changing your action to ‘template_redirect’ instead of ‘init’.

so like this:

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_visitors' );

DISCO! You’ve done it! Now to find out what template_redirect is? I suspect it fires after init and the page now knows more about what’s going on? Also, How would I modify this so that the non-logged in user is only redirected to the registration page if they visit the home page (in other words, I would like them to have access to the rest of the site)

Thanks so much for your help!

Great, glad that fixed it! You can see the list of WP actions here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference.

To limit this redirect just to the home page update it to something like this:
```
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_visitors' );
function redirect_visitors() {
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() && is_front_page() ) {
	wp_redirect( site_url() . '/my-site-registration' );
        exit;
   }
}
```
